Nebraska Health Insurance Laws and Regulations
Nebraska health insurance laws regulate the private health insurance market in the state. Some federal laws also protect Nebraska residents as they search for individual health plans.
All Nebraska health insurance plans are required to cover certain medical care services. They include:
- Mammograms and screening for colorectal cancer
- Diabetes care
- Vaccinations for children
Nebraska health insurance plans also must provide equal coverage for mental health conditions and physical conditions.
Residents who have recently left an employer's group health plan can be protected under two federal laws, HIPAA and COBRA. Under HIPAA, insurance companies are not allowed to impose coverage exclusion or waiting periods. Under COBRA, former employees have a right to continue their group coverage for a temporary period of time.
Nebraska also has a high-risk health insurance pool. The pool, known as the Nebraska Comprehensive Health Insurance Pool, provides Nebraska health insurance for residents who are unable to find affordable coverage because of a pre-existing condition.
