California AB356
Chan
This legislation was introduced by Wilma Chan (D-Oakland CA) that requires an employer, employee association or other entity that provides hospital, medical or surgical expense coverage that a former employee may continue under federal COBRA or Cal-COBRA to be made aware that individual health insurance typically requires a review of medical history that could result in a higher premium or could be denied coverage.
This legislation was passed on October 5, 2005 and becomes effective for plans that renew on or after July 1, 2006. Therefore, prior to July 1, 2006, our Continuation Notice and Conversion Notice will include the appropriate language for our COBRA clients.
Infinisource will be coming to Southern California to conduct a
COBRA Liability & Regulations Review
to also include new HIPAA Portability Regulations
The seminars will be held February 21 in San Diego at the Courtyard San Diego Old Town, February 22 in Pasadena at the Sheraton Pasadena Hotel and February 23 in San Bernardino at the Hilton San Bernardino from 9:00-3:00pm. This seminar will cover all you need to know about COBRA including the 2004 Final COBRA Regulations, and will also include the 2004 Final HIPAA Portability Regulations. You can call 800-300-3838 to register with a real person, and use the code ML-KK. Or, you can go on-line to www.benefitsolved.com to our Seminar's page and register there using the code ML-KK. I encourage you to invite as many clients as you can as these laws affect their liability daily. To accomplish this, I have attached a marketing piece that you can either e-mail to clients, or print and use "snail-mail", to attend this seminar at a low rate through you. For every three clients you have attend, one agent from your agency goes free! You can't beat it-because you also receive up to 6 CE credits.
