Ninety-Day Waiting Period Limitation and Technical Amendments to Certain Health Coverage Requirements Under the Affordable Care Act

The U.S. Department of Labor has released final regulations limiting the 90-day waiting period for individuals to access health coverage under the Affordable Care Act, while also making technical amendments to other health coverage requirements. The changes aim to align existing regulations with the Affordable Care Act provisions, particularly those related to portability provisions added by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA).
