On July 10, 2018, Gov. Ige signed HB 1520 into law. The new law prohibits an insurer from issuing or renewing a short-term, limited-duration health insurance policy for an individual who was eligible to purchase individual health insurance through the marketplace during open enrollment or a special enrollment period in the previous calendar year. Further, insurers are prohibited from issuing such a policy with a coverage period longer than 90 days. This law is more restrictive than the recently issued federal regulations related to short-term, limited-duration health insurance policies, which permits renewals for up to 36 months.
