Plan Sponsor has a weekly feature to help plan sponsors understand what they need to do to prepare for the impact of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). Groom principals, Christy Tinnes and Brigen Winters, serve as the health care reform experts and field weekly questions regarding the new law. The weekly questions are compiled and published each month in the “Second Opinion” column in Plan Sponsor Magazine.

There have been quite a few questions on the new rescission rule under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) and how the rule applies in many practical situations, such as a plan terminating an individual’s coverage back to the date of termination of employment (a fairly typical occurrence). Technically, this is a retroactive change, but is it a “rescission” under the new rules?

These Q&As first appeared online on in June. As health care law is rapidly evolving, there may be further developments since the initial publication.
