121 Federal Notice required to cover dependents up to age 26, regardless of their eligibility for other employer sponsored coverage. On or before the first day of the first plan year beginning on or after September 23, 2010, the group will provide a 30 day dependent child special open enrollment period for dependent children who are not currently enrolled under the policy and who have not yet reached age 26. During this dependent child special open enrollment period, subscribers who are adding a dependent child and who have a choice of coverage options will be allowed to change options. • If your plan includes coverage for enrolled dependent children beyond the age of 26, which is conditioned upon full-time student status, the following applies: Coverage for enrolled dependent children who are required to maintain full-time student status in order to continue eligibility under the plan is subject to the statute known as Michelle's Law. This law amends ERISA, the Public Health Service Act, and the Internal Revenue Code and requires group health plans, which provide coverage for dependent children who are post-secondary school students, to continue such coverage if the student loses the required student status because he or she must take a medically necessary leave of absence from studies due to a serious illness or Injury. • If you do not have a grandfathered plan, network benefits for preventive care services described below will be paid at 100%, and not subject to any deductible, Coinsurance or Copayment. If you have pharmacy benefit coverage, your plan may also be required to cover preventive care medications that are obtained at a network pharmacy at 100%, and not subject to any deductible, Coinsurance or Copayment, as required by applicable law under any of the following: ▪ Evidence-based items or services that have in effect a rating of "A" or "B" in the current recommendations of the United States Preventive Services Task Force. ▪ Immunizations that have in effect a recommendation from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. ▪ With respect to infants, children and adolescents, evidence-informed preventive care and screenings provided for in the comprehensive guidelines supported by the Health Resources and Services Administration. ▪ With respect to women, such additional preventive care and screenings as provided for in comprehensive guidelines supported by the Health Resources and Services Administration. • Retroactive rescission of coverage under the plan is permitted, with 30 days advance written notice, only in the following two circumstances: ▪ The individual performs an act, practice or omission that constitutes fraud. ▪ The individual makes an intentional misrepresentation of a material fact. • Other changes provided for under the PPACA do not impact your plan because your plan already contains these benefits. These include: ▪ Direct access to OB/GYN care without a referral or authorization requirement. ▪ The ability to designate a pediatrician as a primary care physician (PCP) if your plan requires a PCP designation. ▪ Prior authorization is not required before you receive services in the emergency department of a hospital. If you seek emergency care from out-of-network providers in the emergency department of a hospital your cost sharing obligations (Copayments/Coinsurance) will be the same as would be applied to care received from network providers.
