The HealthPlan Updated Med Sup Compensation for West Virginia

The HealthPlan notice from 11/16/2020: 

There is an update to THP Medicare Supplement commission/admin rates in WV.  This update is required so that we can comply with the State of West Virginia Regulatory Rule 114-24-14, which went into effect 4/1/2020.  The rule requires that carriers pay the same amounts paid in year 2 for all compensated renewal years.   Unfortunately, the legislative change was missed by THP until now.
