Indemnity supplemental health insurance plans should be compatible with the new Affordable Care Act health insurance rules, according to executives at a company in the limited-benefit plan market.
Fringe Benefits Group Inc., Austin, Texas, believes that ACA – the package that includes the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act- will ban "true group" limited benefit plans, by banning plans that use annual or lifetime benefits maximums.
The new bans on benefit caps could affect group plans that start to renew starting in September, according to John Conkling, a vice president at Fringe Benefit.
