Rhode Island has enacted legislation that mandates a special enrollment into health care coverage based on pregnancy.
The Details:
Effective Jan. 1, 2023, a pregnant individual must be offered a special enrollment opportunity after the commencement of the pregnancy. The coverage will be effective as of the first day of the month in which the pregnant individual applies for coverage.
This special enrollment mandate apples to individual and group (both small and large) policies written in Rhode Island as well as coverage under the “Rhode Island Health Benefit Exchange.”
Next Steps:
Employers in Rhode Island should review S 2548 and ensure that their health plans, whether insured or self-insured, comply with new mandate by January 1, 2023.
