Nondiscrimination and Wellness Programs in Health Coverage in the Group Market

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has released final rules for group health plans and health insurance issuers, prohibiting discrimination based on health factors, as mandated by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). These rules implement changes to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), and the Public Health Service Act (PHS Act).
