Zane Benefits Publishes New Information on the ACA’s Pre-existing Condition Exclusion
Park City, Utah (PRWEB) February 10, 2014 -- Today, Zane Benefits, the #1 Online Health Benefits Solution, published new information on the ACA’s pre-existing condition exclusion.
According to Zane Benefits’ website, the Affordable Care Act’s pre-existing condition exclusion provision prohibits health insurers from denying coverage to individuals because of a pre-existing health condition. This provision is also referred to as "guaranteed-issue" because everyone - regardless of health conditions - is guaranteed to be issued health coverage.
According to Zane Benefits’ website, a pre-existing condition exclusion means health insurers and employers cannot limit, exclude, or deny coverage based on the fact that a health condition was present before the effective date of coverage (or if coverage is denied, the date of the denial). The provision applies to all group health plans and non-grandfathered individual health insurance plans.
Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), pre-existing condition exclusions were eliminated for children (under age 19) beginning in September 2010. This provision of the ACA was expanded in 2014 to all enrollees.
