Key Takeaways

  • •You can't be put into a prepaid health plan until the state signs a contract with that plan.
  • •The health plan must be approved by the state before anyone can join it.
  • •This rule is to make sure the health plan is safe and follows the rules before people use it.

Example

Imagine you sign up for a new health plan that promises to cover all your doctor visits for a monthly fee.

Before you can start using this health plan, the state must first check and approve it. They also need to sign a contract with the health plan. If they haven't done this yet, you can't be enrolled in the plan.
