REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection formerly was Art. 48A, § 698(h) (effective
subject to Ch. 9, §§ 5 and 7, Acts of 1993, as amended by Ch. 258, § 3, Acts of
1994).

The only changes are in style.

The Insurance Article Review Committee notes, for consideration by the
General Assembly, that Chapter 501, Acts of 1995 amended the definition of
"health benefit plan" (that was not subject to any contingencies) to exclude
"Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Uniformed Services
(CHAMPUS) supplement policies". No comparable change was made to the
definition of "health benefit plan" that is subject to the contingencies
contained in Ch. 9, §§ 5 and 7, Acts of 1993, as amended by Ch. 258, § 3, Acts
of 1994.

Defined terms: "Health insurance" IN § 1-101
"Insurance" IN § 1-101
"Policy" IN § 1-101
"State" IN § 1-101

(h) Late enrollee.

"Late enrollee" means an individual who requests enrollment in a health benefit
after the initial enrollment period provided under the health benefit plan.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 48A, § 698(i)(l) (effective subject to Ch. 9, §§ 5 and
7, Acts of 1993, as amended by Ch. 258, § 3, Acts of 1994).

The former phrase "under this subtitle", which modified the defined term
"health benefit plan", is deleted as unnecessary because the term is defined
for this subheading.

Former Art. 48A, § 698(i)(2), which specified who may not be considered a
late enrollee, is revised as a substantive provision in § 6(b)(1) of this
subheading.

Defined term: "Health benefit plan" § 1
