Nev. Admin. Code § 695C.285 - Limitation on frequency of increases in premium rates; exceptions

1. Except as otherwise provided in this section, an organization shall not increase the premium rates for a group health care plan more frequently than every 6 months unless the increase in the premium rates is being made because:

(a) An employer has requested a change in its group health care plan;

(b) There has been a change in the number of employees covered by an employer that would affect the insurance premium rate of the employer; or

(c) There has been a change in federal or state law which affects the cost of providing services under the group health care plan.

2. If an organization issues a group health care plan to a class of employers that consists solely of bona fide associations and uses a common date of renewal for that class, an increase in the premium rates for that class does not violate the provisions of subsection 1 solely because at least one but not all the members of that class will have an increase in premium rates more frequently than every 6 months.
