Health benefit exchanges; regulation of navigators. Requires navigators, on and after September 1, 2014, to be registered with the State Corporation Commission, in addition to being certified by the federal Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The measure prohibits navigators from receiving compensation for services when prohibited by federal law. The Commission shall register a navigator if his character and general fitness warrant belief that he will act fairly, in the public interest, and in accordance with law. Navigators are required to submit an application to the Commission in a form the Commission prescribes, pay an application fee, and provide a criminal record history. The Commission is authorized to examine and investigate those involved in navigator activities and requires them to report to the Commission (i) any action taken by HHS, (ii) any felony conviction, and (iii) any administrative action taken in another jurisdiction or by another governmental agency in the Commonwealth. The Commission may determine whether the federal standards and qualifications for navigators are sufficient to ensure that navigators can perform their required duties. If the Commission finds that they are not, it is required to make a good faith effort to work in cooperation with the U.S. Secretary of HHS to propose improvements. If the Commission determines the standards and qualifications remain insufficient, the Commission is directed to adopt the necessary regulations to ensure that navigators can perform their required duties.

Health benefit exchanges; regulation of navigators.
