Group health plans and health insurance issuers must provide written certifications of creditable coverage to individuals who are no longer covered. When we are required to issue a certificate of creditable coverage, we will do so on the Friday following an individual's termination date (or, if the termination is requested retroactively, the week after we are notified).
Certificates of creditable coverage include certain identifying information about the individual and the plan, the date any waiting period for eligibility began (generally the hire date), the date creditable coverage began and ended, and an educational statement regarding HIPAA.
When a participant’s coverage is terminating (either due to termination of employment with your group or because his or her COBRA continuation coverage is ending), please make sure their correct address has been forwarded to us.
