FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – Thursday, June 1, 2023
Nevada Insurance Commissioner files court petition to place Friday Health Plans of Nevada in receivership
CARSON CITY, NV – Nevada Insurance
Commissioner, Scott Kipper, has filed legal action with the Nevada District
Court to place Friday Health Plans of Nevada under regulatory supervision. This
action will allow the Commissioner to assume oversight and management of the
day-to-day operations of the company, while performing a thorough financial analysis.
Friday Health Plans of Nevada is a Nevada-domiciled health
insurance company and a subsidiary of Colorado-based Friday Health Plan
Group. The company has been licensed to
sell insurance in Nevada since May 2020 and currently has approximately 2,805 individual enrollees in Nevada.
“The primary
responsibility of the Division of Insurance is to protect the consumers of the
state,” said Insurance Commissioner Scott Kipper. “Through this receivership,
we can further evaluate the health of the company and determine how to best
serve the interests of Nevadans.”
Policyholders’ contracts will remain in effect and members will
need to continue to pay their premiums in accordance with the terms of their
policies to ensure there is no disruption to their coverage. Once the court places the company in receivership,
the Commissioner, through an appointed special deputy receiver, will
communicate with policyholders during the receivership process.
Information may also be accessed through the Nevada Division of
Insurance website at doi.nv.gov or by
calling the Division of Insurance at (888) 872-3234.
