The Maryland Insurance Administration (MIA) will be holding a virtual, open meeting to discuss the potential establishment of a health insurance advisory board to provide input on key issues relating to health insurance and health coverage. The advisory board would potentially consist of carriers, hospitals and other health care providers, consumers, employers, and other key stakeholders. The Commissioner is seeking input from industry, consumers, and other interested parties regarding the need and feasibility of an advisory board/committee, its logistical aspects and functions, and effective practices for payer transparency and public engagement.
An agenda, including a list of questions for discussion, will be released prior to the meeting. Stakeholders are encouraged to provide written responses to the above questions in advance of the public meeting.
This meeting is virtual through the Zoom platform
