DMHC Must Do More To Make Law Clear on Rescissions
Despite instituting "some important changes," the Department of Managed Health Care "has not done enough to ensure that rescission is uncommon and reserved only for bad actors that deliberately provide misleading information on their application," Assembly member Hector De La Torre (D-South Gate) writes in an opinion piece. He argues that the department should restart a process it ended in 2007 that would create new rescission regulations to help lawmakers, consumers and insurers understand the state's position on rescission.
