South Dakota is creating a new medical reinsurance program within the Division of Insurance to help pay for certain high-cost health insurance claims. The program will be funded through assessments on health insurers based on their premium earnings, and will reimburse insurers for claims that exceed a set dollar threshold per individual in a benefit year.
