JEFFERSON CITY (AP) - A health insurance company is agreeing to pay Missouri more than $161,000 for falsely claiming a state law required customers' policies be replaced with Affordable Care Act benefits.
The Missouri Department of Insurance on Tuesday announced Humana Insurance Co. agreed to pay a $161,800 to the Missouri State School Fund for the misstatements.
A Humana spokesman had no immediate comment Tuesday.
A statement from the insurance department says the company sent notices to 1,618 Missourians in August 2013 stating that their policies would be canceled and replaced with Affordable Care Act benefits.
