EXPLANATORY NOTE | ||
(This note is not part of the Instrument and does not purport to be a legal interpretation.) | ||
This Order appoints 1 April 2023 as the date on which paragraphs (b) and (c) of section 5 of the Health Insurance (Amendment) Act 2021 come into operation. The amendment introduces a time limit on the period in which risk equalisation credits can be claimed by health insurers from the Risk Equalisation Fund. It sets out that claims cannot be made to the Health Insurance Authority if entitlement to claim (or part thereof) arose more than six years before the 31 March in the year prior to the date of making the claim. |
