FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why are there dollar limits on this plan?
The American Sentinel Plan was not designed to replace a
traditional health insurance plan, only to offer affordable
coverage to individuals who otherwise wouldn’t be able to buy
coverage.
Can an employee be turned down for coverage?
No, an eligible person cannot be turned down.
Can dependents be covered?
Yes. Due to changes with Health Care Reform, dependents
can now be covered to age 26, if the dependent is not eligible
for another employer-sponsored health plan.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (continued)
Is there a pre-existing condition clause?
Yes, a pre-existing condition is an injury or illness for which you have received medical
advice, treatment, or incurred expenses within 6 months prior to your enrollment date. Preexisting conditions are covered after 12 continuous months from your enrollment date or
after 6 continuous months of receiving no treatment and incurring no expenses for the
condition. These periods may be reduced by any creditable coverage that you may have
had with a previous employer-sponsored or individual insurance plan. No pre-existing
limitation will be applied to pregnancy. Lastly, due to changes with Health Care Reform, the
pre-existing clause will not apply to any enrollee that is under the age of 19.
