U.S. webinar Oct 7th - Upcoming Webinar: Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plans Created by the Affordable Care Act - The Commonwealth Fund

The Commonwealth Fund invites you to join a free webinar on pre-existing condition insurance plans, part of a series of webinars on realizing health reform's potential. This one-hour webinar, to be held Thursday, Oct. 7, at 2 p.m., E.T., will address the Affordable Care Act provision on establishing temporary high-risk pools, also called preexisting condition insurance plans (PCIP), which are designed to quickly make health insurance available to uninsured individuals with preexisting conditions, many of whom previously had been denied coverage. Speakers will examine eligibility, benefits, premiums and cost-sharing, enrollment and outreach, and oversight of the PCIP programs, as well as plan variability.
