HIPPA Notification of Preexisting Condistion Exclusion

[Guest Jim Huffine]

Noticifcation to individual of period of preexisting condition exclusion as required under HIPPA. Section 2590.701-5(d).

Does anyone have a sample of this Notice that they would be willing to share. The Notice is given to an employee to notify them of the waiting period for preexisting condition. The DOL is citing an Employer pension client of mine for not furnishing this notice to their employees. HIPPA enforcement regulations call for the enforcement of HIPPA by the state for insured Health Plans . I'm not sure why the DOL is chasing this employer for this notice, and not the Insurance Health Provider, which in this case is a Blue Cross Insurer.

Thanks

Jim
