Under the new law, insurers must provide written notice 90 days in advance to all insured individuals covered by group plans, as well as their option to buy alternative replacement insurance.
It also establishes a review by state regulators to ensure that policyholders with serious medical conditions who used benefits in the year before a plan is discontinued will keep their present coverage if a similar alternative is not made available.
