Due to new legislation, beginning January 1, 2011 (our plan year) dependent children to the age of 26, regardless of student or marital status, are eligible to come on our plan if they do not have employer sponsored health coverage available to them. No pre-existing limitations for dependents to age 19. All others will be required to provide a certificate of creditable coverage or may have pre-existing limitations (365 day waiting period) applied;
A pre-existing condition is an illness or injury that existed within 180 days before the covered person’s enrollment date. An illness or injury is considered to have existed when the covered person sought or received professional advice for that illness or injury, received medical care or treatment for that illness or injury or received medical supplies drugs or medicines for that illness or injury.
