SB 545 - Under this act, a participating member agency may withdraw from the Missouri Consolidated Health Care Plan after the Missouri Consolidated Health Care Plan Board has received a certification from the agency's governing body at least 30 days prior to end of the current plan year (decreased from 90 days). This act clarifies the termination date of public entities for non-payment. Under current law, if a participating member agency fails to make a payment, the board may terminate the agency's participation in the plan. This act holds that the effective date of the termination shall be the end of the month following the action of the board. Termination of coverage shall not relieve the participating member agency of its obligation to pay all monies due prior to the date of termination.
