689C.125  Rating factors for determining premiums.

      1.  A carrier serving small employers shall apply rating factors, including characteristics, consistently with respect to all small employers in a class of business. Rating factors must produce premiums for identical groups that differ only by the amounts attributable to the design of the plans and the terms of the coverage and do not reflect differences based on the nature of the groups that will select particular health benefit plans. As used in this subsection, “premium” means all money paid by a small employer and eligible employees to a carrier as a condition of receiving coverage from a carrier, including any fees or other contributions associated with the health benefit plan.

      2.  A carrier serving small employers shall treat all health benefit plans issued or renewed in the same calendar month as having the same rating period, if the terms of coverage provided in the plans are the same.
