Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act requires giving credit for previous coverage with respect to any preexisting conditions exclusion found in a new health plan. Option A is incorrect, as it guarantees the availability of group health insurance to eligible individuals, not small employers. Option B is incorrect, as it does not require employers to provide a minimum level of health benefits prescribed by law, but it does set standards for the privacy and security of individually identifiable health information. Option D is incorrect, as it limits preexisting conditions exclusions to 12 months for employer-sponsored plans and 18 months for individual plans.
