Abstract: Pursuant to 29 CFR 2590.701-3(c), a group health plan offering group health insurance coverage may not impose any preexisting condition exclusions on a participant unless the participant has been notified of the plan's provisions and his or her right to establish prior creditable coverage. 29 CFR 2590.701-4 requires that plans that use the alternative method of crediting coverage disclose their method at the time of a participant's enrollment in the plan. 29 CFR.701-5(d) requires that before a plan imposes a preexisting condition exclusion on a particular participant, it must first disclose that determinination in writing.
