1VAC55-20-130. Develop health benefits program.
A. The department shall develop a health benefits program which shall be flexible in its form and content so as to accommodate a structure which permits the creation of multiple accident and health plans. The department, however, may offer a single health insurance plan if it determines that that is the most effective use of plan resources. The department has full authority to make changes in plan terms including, but not limited to, benefits and contributions, or to change underwriters and administrators as it deems appropriate.
B. The department shall supplement these regulations by providing administrative guidance through the Health Insurance Manual, Local Administrative Manual, Flexible Benefits Administrative Manual, memoranda, and other communications.
