| On December 1, 2008, an order for rehabilitation was entered by an Indiana court against Medical Savings Insurance Company (MSIC), an Indiana domestic health insurer, commencing voluntary rehabilitation proceedings. MSIC’s business consisted primarily of high-deductible health insurance policies, many of which were coupled with health savings accounts. Some of the policies also included term life riders. In accordance with a court approved transition plan, the majority of the business was voluntarily terminated on or before December 31, 2008, and rewritten by Golden Rule Insurance Company (“GRIC”), a health insurer and member of the UnitedHealthcare family of companies, whose product line includes high-deductible health insurance policies for individuals and their families. MSIC was ordered into liquidation on February 26, 2009. Policy administration for the limited in-force block will continue pending cancellation of the remaining business.
MSIC was licensed in 35 states, including Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, and West Virginia.
