The Oregon Division of Financial Regulation issued Bulletin No. DFR 2018-07 to clarify that the federal AHP rule does not preempt Oregon state laws governing association health plans and Multiple Employer Welfare Arrangements. The bulletin mandates that issuers, associations, and agents must strictly comply with existing Oregon statutory requirements, including specific eligibility criteria for group policyholders and MEWA certification processes. The Division reaffirms its authority to enforce these regulations and take action against any entities attempting to circumvent state consumer protections or market requirements.
