The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Public Law 111-148, (the Affordable Care Act) was enacted by President Obama on March 23, 2010. Section 1251 of the Act provides that certain plans and health insurance coverage in existence as of March 23, 2010, known as grandfathered health plans, are not required to comply with certain statutory provisions in the Act. The final regulations implementing the grandfathered plan provision of the Affordable Care Act (29 CFR 2590.715-1251(a)(2)) requires a grandfathered health plan to include a statement in any plan material provided to participants or beneficiaries stating the plan's intent to be a grandfathered health plan within the meaning of §1251 of the Act. To maintain its status as a grandfathered health plan, the final regulations (29 CFR 2590.715-1251(a)(3)) require the plan or issuer to maintain records documenting the terms of the plan or health insurance coverage in effect on March 23, 2010, and any other documents that are necessary to verify, explain or clarify status as a grandfathered health plan. The plan or issuer must make such records available for examination upon request by participants, beneficiaries, individual policy subscribers, or a State or Federal agency official.
