Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 November 2018
359. Deputy Louise O'Reilly asked the Minister for Health the number of times since 2012 the Health Insurance Authority has reported that overcompensation has occurred through the risk equalisation scheme; the amount of overcompensation that was estimated; the steps that were taken to rectify the situation, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [48923/18]
View answerSection 7F of the Health Insurance Act 1994, as amended, sets out the detailed rules that apply to the Health Insurance Authority in assessing whether an insurer, that is a net recipient from the Risk Equalisation Fund, has been overcompensated by the Risk Equalisation Fund.
No insurer has been assessed by the Health Insurance Authority as being overcompensated since the legislation was enacted in 2009.
