You have no doubt been inundated with HealthCare Reform news- how the healthcare insurance landscape will see changes.  Most of what is being discussed, like employers paying penalties for not sponsoring a health plan is not effective until 2014.

So, what are the key changes you need to be dealing with NOW?

1.  Effective with renewals on or after September 23, 2010 plans that offer dependent coverage must extend that coverage to dependents up to their 26th birthday, even if they are married and not living at home, unless they are eligible for group coverage elsewhere.

2.  Insurance carriers can not deny claims on children (under the age of 19) related to pre-existing conditions, again for renewals on or after September 23, 2010.

3.  Health plans can not impose lifetime limits on the dollar value of coverage for plans that renew on or after September 23, 2010.

This is just a sample of some of the changes and impact of the HealthCare Reform, for more information check back or call us at 214/739-5215.
