Of the myriad reasons to join DAHU, these are our favorites. You'll probably have even more reasons.

Children Under 19 - HHS Q&A

On June 28, 2010, the Administration published the interim final regulations prohibiting new group health plans and health insurance issuers in both the group and individual markets from imposing pre-existing condition exclusions on children under 19 for the first plan year (in the individual market, policy year) beginning on or after September 23, 2010.   These regulations apply to grandfathered group health plans and group health insurance coverage but do not apply to grandfathered individual health insurance coverage that was in existence on March 23, 2010.

Accordingly, for non-grandfathered individual health insurance policies, children under 19 cannot be denied coverage because of a pre-existing condition for policy years beginning on or after September 23, 2010.

New State Based Systems for Producer Licensing

On July 26, 2010, the Illinois Department of Insurance will implement the State-Based Systems (SBS) licensing system. 

        SBS will allow producer licensing functions to be completed electronically through a web-based system.  Through SBS, an insurance producer will be able to register immediately, without paperwork delays, and at any time, on any day.
