Limited Benefit Testimony

GCNYAHU received an invitation from the State of New York Insurance Department to testify on limited benefit plans.  The purpose of the hearings was to determine how these policies are marketed, assess what disclosures are made regarding covered services, evaluate any advantages these policies provide and determine whether additional oversight and regulation is required to protect consumers.  Kishan Perera, President Elect and Programs Chair of GCNYAHU, as well as Daniel Judge, Board Member of NYSAHU, provided testimony on September 30, 2009.  A copy of their testimony is attached via the link below.
