Description
Health insurance; continuation of coverage under group policy. Expands the ability of a person who becomes ineligible for coverage under a group health insurance policy to exercise the option to continue coverage under the group policy by (i) eliminating the policyholder's option to have the insurer issue the person an individual policy; (ii) extending the maximum length of continued coverage from 90 days to 12 months; (iii) allowing premiums to be paid monthly; and (iv) requiring the policyholder to inform the persons insured under the group policy of the option.
