Health Care for All New York (HCFANY) writes to comment on the interim final rules implementing the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) provisions regarding preexisting conditions, lifetime and annual limits on benefits, rescissions, and patient protections. HCFANY is a statewide coalition of more than 100 organizations, which seek to achieve affordable, quality health care for all New Yorkers.
Overall, we commend the Departments for the progress these interim final rules make in implementing the consumer protections of the ACA. However, we have concerns regarding four sections of the new regulations: the rules prohibiting preexisting conditions exclusions; the rules restricting annual limits; the rules limiting rescissions; and the rules regarding coverage of emergency services (patient protections).
Please see attached document for details.
