Termination/No Rescissions

Health Care Reform contains regulations regarding the termination of benefits. Employers may not terminate (rescind) coverage before informing the employee of the termination of coverage. Carriers must be notified of the termination within 30 days of the date coverage ends. If the carrier is notified more than 30 days after the coverage ends, the employer must certify that the employee was notified of the termination of coverage prior to the termination date. Employers will not be able to retroactively adjust eligibility greater than 90 days.
