Compliance with the Certificate of Creditable Coverage Provisions - Automatic Certificates Upon Loss of Coverage - Issuer Responsibility
If there is an agreement between the plan and the issuer stating that the issuer is responsible for providing certificates of creditable coverage, does the issuer provide complete and timely certificates?
Even if the plan is not responsible for issuing certificates of creditable coverage, the plan should monitor issuer compliance with the certification provisions.
If the plan is self-insured, or if there is no such agreement between the plan and the issuer, select "Not Applicable" above.
