As part of Health Care Reform (the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, PPACA), children with pre-existing health conditions may no longer be denied coverage by individual health insurance plans. Although children are guaranteed to be accepted, carriers may offer coverage at a rate-up of up to 100% if there are pre-existing health conditions.
The Open Enrollment and Guarantee-issue period ends on March 1st, 2011. In order to take advantage of this new law, children must be enrolled by March 1st.
