Limited coverage for home health care authorized.
Limited coverage for home health care authorized.
—Notwithstanding other provisions of this chapter, a health maintenance organization may issue a contract that limits coverage to home health care services only. The organization and the contract shall be subject to all of the requirements of this part that do not require or otherwise apply to specific benefits other than home care services. To this extent, all of the requirements of this part apply to any organization or contract that limits coverage to home care services, except the requirements for providing comprehensive health care services as provided in ss. 641.19(4), (11), and (12), and 641.31(1), except ss. 641.31(9), (12), (17), (18), (19), (20), (21), and (24) and 641.31095.
Notwithstanding the other provisions of this chapter, a health maintenance organization may apply for and obtain a certificate of authority from the office pursuant to this part and a health care provider certificate pursuant to part III, which certificate limits the authority of the organization to the issuance of contracts that limit coverage to home health care services pursuant to subsection (1). In addition to all applicable requirements of this part, as specified in subsection (1), all of the requirements of part III apply to an organization applying for such a limited certificate, except to the extent that such requirements directly conflict with the limited nature of the coverage provided.
