Several healthcare provisions take effect

Chiropractic Economics September 25, 2010

September 25, 2010 — Today marks six months since the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) was signed into law. As a result, several provisions in the act become effective today. Among those are:

• Insurance companies can no longer discriminate against children with pre-existing conditions.

• Health plans can no longer cancel coverage when a patient gets sick.

• Lifetime limits on the dollar amount of coverage are banned and annual limits are tightly restricted. This means that patients won’t have to worry about suddenly losing their coverage.
