Members can appeal and ESI will review the clinical information provided by the physician. Social Security’s Definition of a “Spouse”. As of January 1, 2015, the Social Security’s definition of “spouse” has expanded to include a same-sex spouse for the purpose of determining Medicare primacy. Therefore, an active employee’s same-sex spouse, age 65 or older, will be Aetna primary not Medicare primary. Certificates of Creditable Coverage (HIPAA Certs) No Longer Required The Affordable Care Act prohibits the use of pre-existing condition clauses resulting in the need to provide certificates of creditable coverage no longer necessary. On February 24, 2014, the Treasury, the Department of Labor, and the Department of Health and Human Service jointly issued final regulations which eliminated the requirement for plan sponsors to issue the certificates after 12/31/14. Grandfathered Health Plan Notice for January 1, 2015 Cornell University believes your plan is a “grandfathered health plan” under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the Affordable Care Act). As permitted by the Affordable Care Act, a grandfathered health plan can preserve certain basic health coverage that was already in effect when that law was enacted. Being a grandfathered health plan means that your plan may not include certain consumer protections of the Affordable Care Act that apply to other plans, for example, the requirement for the provision of preventive health services without any cost sharing. However, grandfathered health plans must comply with certain other consumer protections in the Affordable Care Act, for example, the elimination of lifetime limits on benefits. Questions regarding which protections apply and which protections do not apply to a grandfathered health plan and what might cause a plan to change from grandfathered health plan status can be directed to your employer or Aetna member services using the phone number on your member id card. If your plan is governed by ERISA, you may also contact the Employee Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor at 1-866-444-3272 or HUwww.dol.gov/ebsa/healthreformUH. This website has a table summarizing which protections do and do not apply to grandfathered health plans. If your plan is a nonfederal governmental plan, you may also contact the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services at HUwww.healthreform.govUH.
