To obtain a Certificate of Creditable Coverage, you typically need to contact your previous health insurance provider or employer's benefits administrator. They are required to provide this certificate upon request, especially when you are transitioning to a new health insurance plan. This document outlines your prior coverage period and can help reduce or eliminate waiting periods for pre-existing conditions with your new insurer. Be sure to request it as soon as you leave a plan to ensure you receive it in a timely manner.
No, receiving a Certificate of Creditable Coverage does not mean the company is dropping you. This certificate simply confirms that you have had prior health insurance coverage, which can help you avoid waiting periods for pre-existing conditions if you switch plans. It's a standard part of health insurance processes, particularly during transitions between different coverage options.
A certificate of creditable coverage is generally not required for dental insurance, as it is primarily associated with health insurance plans under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). However, some dental plans may provide documentation of prior coverage for other purposes, such as verifying eligibility or determining waiting periods. It's best to check with the specific dental insurance provider for their requirements.
The purpose of a certificate of creditable coverage is to assure that pre-existing conditions are not excluded in your next policy of coverage. Since a dental procedure in process like a crown is completed by the previous carrier even after the expiration of a policy and dental policies rarely exclude other pre-existing conditions (except perhaps for missing teeth), there is no reason to issue this certificate. The federal law that requires the issuance of this certificate applies to medical carriers issuing health policies not dental insurers.
Assuming you want to know what is a "Certificate of Credible Coverage" - this is a document provided to you by an insuracne company after you drop their coverage provided the coverage was a HIPAA qualified plan. Most company plans are HIPAA qualified. Here is why they send it to you. Under HIPAA regs if you move from one plan to another and have a break in coverage of less than 63 days then the new carrier can NOT impose a pre-existing conditions clause. So if you had MS and moved from job A to job B with less than a 63 day lapse in coverage and had your Certificate, the insurance carrier for job B would have to cover that condition day 1.
Your plan is required to make that determination for you based on actuarial analysis. Each year, that analysis needs to be completed by 9.30 for the next calendar year's plan. If you are covered by your employer, your employer likely received a statement of creditable coverage from the plan.
A certificate of insurance is necessary to show coverage limits. Any business you plan to deal with should hold a current certificate of insurance to be sure coverage is current.
My role is not creditable.
To verify if a contractor lied about their insurance coverage, you can request to see their insurance certificate directly from the insurance provider listed on the certificate. You can also contact the insurance provider to confirm the contractor's coverage and ensure it is valid and up to date.
The ringing skills demonstrated were less than awesome but perfectly creditable.
