Anyone who works with Small Group in California hear of a State law indicating that late enrollees can come on to a Group Health plan pretty much at any time?
I always thought the late enrollees have only 30 days to enroll after they become effective, otherwise they need to wait until open enrollment. Unless there is a qualifying event.
Both Aetna and Anthem has told me that unlike other states and what their underwriting guidelines state, late enrollees can come on board at any time. The only issue is that the late enrollee will not be able to have a retroactive effective date back to the original hire date.
