Pre-existing exclusions are limited on the amount of time they can exclude coverage. Also an insurance company can only claim "pre-existing" something that happened in the last 6 months. The amount of time for a pre-existing waiting period depends of the type, and size of the group. Credit must be given for any prior
credible coverage's. Pregnancy is not considered a pre-existing condition on a group health plan.
The pre-existing exclusion period for a small business plan that is insured by a private insurer is 6 months and 12 months for a self insured group.

Temporary
Many situations may arise where you find yourself without health insurance, or about to be without health insurance. These reasons could range from graduating college to being in-between jobs.

What types of Michigan Health
Insurance are there?
HMO- Health
Maintenance Organization. This type
of insurance is called managed care.
This means you have certain network of doctors and hospitals in
PPO-Preferred Provider Organization. This type of insurance is also called managed
care but it gives the consumer much more freedom; they allow you to visit any
doctor or hospital in or out of network.
Most Michigan PPO’s have an in network and an out of network
charge. If the in network co-insurance
is 100% then the out of network co-insurance would be 80%. If the in network co-insurance is 90% then
the out of network co-insurance would be 70%
Typically Michigan PPO’s offer co-payments for doctor visits as well as
hospitalization.
Indemnity Plan - In
Discount Medical Plans – In recent years many
Discount Medical Plans have started to surface.
These plans have relatively inexpensive, but consumers must realize that
this is not insurance. All these
companies do is to get their customers discounted rates (20-50% off) on certain
procedures at certain physicians and hospitals.
Federal Mandated Health Insurance Laws
HIPAA
Along with Michigan Health Insurance Laws, there are Federal
Laws that regulate Health Insurance companies.
HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act of 1996). This act mandated federal standards for
individual and group health insurance plans.
Some of the standards that it established were relative to guaranteed
renew ability, crediting for prior health coverage and pre-existing condition
waiting periods.
ERISA
Large corporations do not have health insurance
policies. Typically they are self
funded, meaning the corporation pays for all of their employee’s medical bills
instead of buying health insurance. Most
of these “self funded” companies are regulated by the federal government under ERISA
(Employee Retirement Income Security Act)
COBRA
In
Cobra Insurance was introduced in 1985. Cobra stands for Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act. If you would like more information about your Cobra Insurance options please contact your companies HR department.
Often employees are surprised at the cost of a Michigan Cobra Insurance. The reason for this is that they are now responsible for 103% (100% of the premium plus a 3% administration fee) of a monthly health insurance premium when they probably only paid 20% while employed.
Whether nor not to take Cobra is an important question, and you should realize there are alternatives to a Michigan Cobra Insurance Policy. One should realize what they plan to do in the future. If you are looking for another job, and it will be a few months before you get a job, it might make sense to look for a Michigan Temporary Health Insurance Plan. If you are contemplating working at a consultant, it would be in your best interest to look into a Michigan Self Employed Health Insurance Policy.
