What Our Clients Say

"I taught school for many years and never really had to worry about insurance. I am now self-employed finding the right health insurance has been a big worry. I tried one insurance company but had to pay for everything up front, even office calls. I switched to BCBS and, though I have only used it one time, everything went very smoothly and I only had to pay the copay.  Thank you BCBS and Healthquotes!!"

What is creditable health insurance coverage?

PDF Print E-mail

livehelp_woman.jpgMost health coverage is creditable coverage, such as coverage under a group health plan (including COBRA continuation coverage), HMO, individual health insurance policy, Medicaid or Medicare.

Creditable coverage does not include coverage consisting solely of excepted benefits, such as coverage solely for limited-scope dental or vision benefits.

Days in a waiting period during which you have no other coverage are not creditable coverage under the plan, nor are these days taken into account when determining a significant break in coverage (generally a break of 63 days or more).  This 63-day break period may be extended under state law if your coverage is insured through an insurance company or offered through an HMO.  Check with your State Insurance Commissioner's Office to see whether a longer break period applies to you.
