High Risk Pool
(Tax Law)
Subsidized health insurance pools that are organized by some states. High risk pools offer health insurance to individuals who have been denied health insurance because of a medical condition or to individuals whose premiums are rated significantly higher than average due to health status or claims experience. High risk pools can be a form of qualified health coverage for the HCTC if they are deemed state-qualified. To be considered qualified, the high risk pool must provide coverage to all individuals guaranteed coverage through HIPAA, not impose any preexisting condition exclusions, meet certain requirements for premium rates and covered benefits, and be officially qualified by the state.
