Zane Benefits Publishes New Information on the ACA 90-Day Waiting Period Rule
Park City, Utah (PRWEB) March 10, 2014 -- Today, Zane Benefits, the #1 Online Health Benefits Solution, published new information on the ACA 90-Day Waiting Period rule.
According to Zane Benefits’ website, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) mandates that coverage under a group health plan be made available to “otherwise eligible” employees and their dependents no later than 90 calendar days from an employee’s eligibility date.
The 90-day Waiting Period provision applies to employers of all sizes and all plan types, including grandfathered plans and self-insured plans. The provision takes effect on the first day of the new plan year in 2014.
According to Zane Benefits’ website, the final regulations provide that a group health plan, and a health insurance issuer offering group health insurance coverage, may not apply a Waiting Period that is longer than 90 calendar days. If an individual can elect coverage that becomes effective on a date that does not exceed 90 calendar days, the coverage will comply with the 90-day Waiting Period limitation.
