HIPAA with NJ Continuation Health Ins.

njjel

Do any of my colleauges out there know how HIPAA works if an individual was previously covered by a small group policy that was not required to provide COBRA and is now covered by the same insurance policy under NJ continuation health insurance? Must a new employer's insurance accept their pre existing conditions?

I'm a little bit confused by all your questions, but as far as the last question goes, pre-existing conditions are covered as long as the employee didn't have a break longer than 63 days of no coverage.
