Comment: We received one comment on
establishing effective dates for employees enrolling in coverage during the initial group
enrollment and the annual
open enrollment period.
The commenter supported our proposed provision because it
establishes flexibility for State - based SHOPs to
establish their own effective dates during the initial and annual
open enrollment periods, including mid-month effective dates.
Second, we propose to amend § 155.725 (h) so that SHOPs would need only to
establish effective dates for employees enrolling in coverage during the initial group
enrollment and the employee annual
open enrollment period, rather than for special
enrollment periods, because SHOPs must ensure that effective dates for employees enrolling during special
enrollment periods are consistent with the effective dates specified in § 155.420 (b).
Sections 147.104 (b)(2) and 155.420 (d)(1)(ii) also
establish a special
enrollment period (also referred to as a limited
open enrollment period) for individuals enrolled in non-calendar year individual health insurance policies when their policy year ends in 2014.
(1) The SHOP must
establish effective dates of coverage for qualified employees enrolling in coverage for the first time, and for qualified employees enrolling during the annual
open enrollment period described in paragraph (e) of this section.
