Requirements for the group health insurance market; non-federal governmental plans exempt from HIPAA Title I requirements. Final rule.
This rule finalizes existing exemption election requirements that apply to self-funded non-Federal governmental plans. In it, we clarify the conditions under which plan sponsors may exempt these plans from most of the requirements of title XXVII of the PHS Act, and provide guidance on the procedures, limitations, and documentation associated with exemption elections. Finally, we revise the requirements to reinforce beneficiary protections for exemption elections.
