Special Open Enrollment Window November 15-December 15
Don’t overlook the opportunity to get coverage for your small business clients who have been unable to get coverage in the past due to carrier participation or employer contribution requirements. Act now to take advantage of the ACA’s annual Special Open Enrollment Window, 11/15-12/15 – for coverage effective 1/1/2022. Visit our Newsroom post for more information, or contact your Word & Brown representative.Many carriers are offering a special enrollment period for individuals who did not initially join a group policy, as well as the ability for the employer to make changes in plan options and contribution amounts to control premium costs due to COVID-19.
Please note: the employer will need to be compliant with the ACA’s 60-Day Advance Notice of Material Modification requirement
A majority of carriers already include a provision for a grace period for those clients struggling to meet monthly premium payments. Several carriers have extended this grace period due to the impact of COVID-19.
Several carriers have relaxed requirements for employees to be actively working in order to be eligible, as long as the employer maintains payment of monthly premiums.
Carriers have developed different strategies for rehiring employees after termination or furlough due to COVID-19. Waiting periods may be waived to ensure the employee receives coverage once returning to work.
All carriers are required to cover mental health services. EAP is an additional resource above the required benefits for mental health. At this time many carriers have offered free assistance programs for those employees struggling with mental health issues due to COVID-19.
Several carriers are offering free and waived medical costs for treatment and testing.
