Manatt’s Joel Ario, a managing director with Manatt Health, discussed short-term health plans with Bloomberg Law.
The publication noted that state insurance regulators are keeping an eye on “skinny” health plans, as some do not cover maternity care, prescription drugs or pre-existing conditions, but market themselves as doing so.
“There’s a history of consumers buying plans that they don’t fully understand. You will continue to see that kind of confusion,” said Ario.
