Required COBRA Notices

ballt_centracare_com

As part of our standard COBRA notification process, we have been including a Certificate of Credible Coverage in the election packet. With the changes in the Affordable Care Act, the pre-x conditions and late entrant provisions have been eliminated. In speaking with our medical carrier, they will no linger be issuing Certificates of Credible Coverage unless they are requested for some reason. What are your thoughts as to continuing to include them with our COBRA notices on-going? It sounds like this was never really a requirement. Is anyone else including these?

We have always handled HIPAA separately from COBRA. Sometimes different people are responsible for them, but mostly because we wanted to be able to adequately document that the employee received both.
