Are the plans a health group cooperative offers considered to be the offerings of a single carrier, or does “plans” imply multiple insurers within a single health group cooperative?
Section 38-71-1355(1) provides that the health group cooperative shall arrange for group health insurance plan coverage for small employers who are members of the cooperative by contracting with small employer insurers who meet the criteria established by this chapter for coverage under group health insurance plans. An insurer may offer different plans to the employer. Also, the health group cooperative may have more than one carrier. The health group cooperative determines if coverage will be offered by multiple insurers.
