The Minnesota Comprehensive Health Association will see a series of technical changes in its governing rules.

Created by state law, the association is a private, nonprofit corporation that offers health insurance to Minnesotans who would otherwise be unable to obtain coverage at an affordable rate, or at all, due to pre-existing conditions.

A number of alterations to the organization’s method of calculating premiums, its rate calendar and the products it offers were signed into law April 9 by Gov. Mark Dayton. The law took effect the following day.

Rep. Joe Hoppe (R-Chaska) and Sen. Chris Gerlach (R-Apple Valley) sponsor the law. Hoppe said the law was needed as part of technical changes to the association’s governing requirements.
