§ 14410 Enrollment Discrimination Prohibition

• •Health plans can't pick and choose who to cover based on their health problems.
• •They can't try to find out if you have medical or mental health issues just to keep you out.
• •The only time they can say no is if your specific health problem isn't covered in their contract.

You have asthma and want to join a health plan.

The health plan can't ask about your asthma just to stop you from joining. They can only say no if asthma isn't covered in their plan.
