Abstract

This publication provides interested Nebraskans with a step-by-step guide to follow when setting up an insurance purchasing group. It also details the responsibilities of a third party administrator. It should be used in concert with NebFact NF96-263.

Background

Nebraska legislation (L.B. 1222) allows Nebraskans to come together for the sole reason of purchasing health insurance. Background information about how to begin, types and portability of coverage, what providers to include, and when to evaluate the plan can be found in the NebFact sheet, How to Form Insurance Purchasing Pools in Nebraska, NF96-263.
