Today, ERIC, along with the HR Policy Association, the National Association of Wholesaler-Distributors, and Self-Insurance Institute of America, Inc., submitted comments to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services regarding Oklahoma’s Section 1332 Waiver Application. Oklahoma’s waiver would place an assessment on insurers and employers to fund a reinsurance program in the state. For more information on the waiver application, click here.
