WY Stat § 26-13-302. (2015) What's This?

26-13-302. Purpose and intent.

The purpose of this act is to assure that health insurance benefits not subject to the federal Employee Retirement Income Security Act are contractually guaranteed, and to avoid the conflict of interest that occurs when the carrier responsible for providing benefits has discretionary authority to decide what benefits are due. This act is also intended to assure that health insurance benefits contracts subject to the federal Employee Retirement Income Security Act which contain a discretionary clause provide appropriate disclosure of the clause and additional provisions to assure a fair determination of contract benefits. Nothing in this act shall be construed as imposing any requirement or duty on any person other than a health carrier.
