Terminations that occurred in 2016 as part of that strategy violated Texas insurance laws. Additionally, the Texas Department of Insurance discovered instances in which Humana used unapproved association plan forms and failed to notify associations of changes to policy language upon renewal. Lastly, between 2014 and 2017, Humana violated regulations by rating small employers as if they were large employers.
