To qualify for a HIPAA plan, you must:- have completed a minimum of 18 months of continuous health coverage, most recently under an employer sponsored group health plan.
- have elected and exhausted continuation of coverage under COBRA, if available
- have lost coverage within the last 63 days
- not be eligible for Medic-aid or Medicare, or have any other health coverage
- Additional requirement apply. Ask your broker if you qualify for a HIPAA plan and if a HIPAA plan is right for you.
Options When Leaving a Group Plan
