What’s in it

AI summary State programs like Medicaid and Hawk-i, along with the companies that manage them, will no longer have to follow most standard insurance laws. These companies must still follow specific rules regarding their licenses and how much money they keep on hand to stay stable. Additionally, the companies managing Hawk-i will now be included in certain rules regarding participating insurers.1
