Group insurance; self-insurance; health services; disability plans; trust fund for prefunding state contributions and OPEB liability; investments
Status: in_force

Sec. 7. (a) The state, excluding state educational institutions, may not purchase or maintain a policy of group insurance, except:

(1) life insurance for the state's employees;

(2) long term care insurance under a long term care insurance policy (as defined in IC 27-8-12-5), for the state's employees; or

(3) an insurance policy that provides coverage that supplements coverage provided under a United States military health care plan.

(b) With the consent of the governor, the state personnel department may establish self-insurance programs to provide group insurance other than life or long term care insurance for state employees and retired state employees. The state personnel department may contract with a private agency, business firm, limited liability company, or corporation for administrative services. A commission may not be paid for the placement of the contract. The department may require, as part of a contract for administrative services, that the provider of the administrative services offer to an employee terminating state employment the option to purchase, without evidence of insurability, an individual policy of insurance.

(c) Notwithstanding subsection (a), with the consent of the governor, the state personnel department may contract for health services for state employees through one (1) or more prepaid health care delivery plans.

(d) The state personnel department shall adopt rules under IC 4-22-2 to establish long term and short term disability plans for state employees (except employees who hold elected offices (as defined by IC 3-5-2.1-34)). The plans adopted under this subsection may include any provisions the department considers necessary and proper and must:

(1) require participation in the plan by employees with six (6) months of continuous, full-time service;

(2) require an employee to make a contribution to the plan in the form of a payroll deduction;

(3) require that an employee's benefits under the short term disability plan be subject to a thirty (30) day elimination period and that benefits under the long term plan be subject to a six (6) month elimination period;

(4) prohibit the termination of an employee who is eligible for benefits under the plan;

(5) except as provided in section 25 of this chapter, provide, after a seven (7) day elimination period, eighty percent (80%) of base biweekly wages for an employee disabled by injuries resulting from tortious acts, as distinguished from passive negligence, that occur within the employee's scope of state employment;

(6) provide that an employee's benefits under the plan may be reduced, dollar for dollar, if the employee derives income from:

(A) Social Security;

(B) the public employees' retirement fund;

(C) the Indiana state teachers' retirement fund;

(D) pension disability;

(E) worker's compensation;

(F) benefits provided from another employer's group plan; or

(G) remuneration for employment entered into after the disability was incurred.

(The department of state revenue and the department of workforce development shall cooperate with the state personnel department to confirm that an employee has disclosed complete and accurate information necessary to administer this subdivision.);

(7) provide that an employee will not receive benefits under the plan for a disability resulting from causes specified in the rules; and

(8) provide that, if an employee refuses to:

(A) accept work assignments appropriate to the employee's medical condition;

(B) submit information necessary for claim administration; or

(C) submit to examinations by designated physicians;

the employee forfeits benefits under the plan.

(e) This section does not affect insurance for retirees under IC 5-10.3 or IC 5-10.4.

(f) The state may pay part of the cost of self-insurance or prepaid health care delivery plans for its employees.

(g) A state agency may not provide any insurance benefits to its employees that are not generally available to other state employees, unless specifically authorized by law.

(h) The state may pay a part of the cost of group medical and life coverage for its employees.

(i) To carry out the purposes of this section, a trust fund may be established. The trust fund established under this subsection is considered a trust fund for purposes of IC 4-9.1-1-7. Money may not be transferred, assigned, or otherwise removed from the trust fund established under this subsection by the state board of finance, the budget agency, or any other state agency. Money in a trust fund established under this subsection does not revert to the state general fund at the end of any state fiscal year. The trust fund established under this subsection consists of appropriations, revenues, or transfers to the trust fund under IC 4-12-1. Contributions to the trust fund are irrevocable. The trust fund must be limited to providing prefunding of annual required contributions and to cover OPEB liability for covered individuals. Funds may be used only for these purposes and not to increase benefits or reduce premiums. The trust fund shall be established to comply with and be administered in a manner that satisfies the Internal Revenue Code requirements concerning a trust fund for prefunding annual required contributions and for covering OPEB liability for covered individuals. All assets in the trust fund established under this subsection:

(1) are dedicated exclusively to providing benefits to covered individuals and their beneficiaries according to the terms of the health plan; and

(2) are exempt from levy, sale, garnishment, attachment, or other legal process.

The trust fund established under this subsection shall be administered by the state personnel department. The expenses of administering the trust fund shall be paid from money in the trust fund. Notwithstanding IC 5-13, the treasurer of state shall invest the money in the trust fund not currently needed to meet the obligations of the trust fund in the same manner as money may be invested by the public employees' retirement fund under IC 5-10.3-5. However, the trustee may not invest the money in the trust in equity securities. The trustee shall also comply with the prudent investor rule set forth in IC 30-4-3.5. The trustee may contract with investment management professionals, investment advisors, and legal counsel to assist in the investment of the trust and may pay the state expenses incurred under those contracts from the trust. Interest that accrues from these investments shall be deposited in the trust fund.

(j) Nothing in this section prohibits the state personnel department from directly contracting with health care providers for health care services for state employees.
