Governor Jerry Brown signed a continuity of care bill (AB 369) to protect California residents whose individual health policies have been withdrawn to comply with the Affordable Care Act. It applies to a newly covered insured under an individual health care service plan contract or policy whose prior coverage was withdrawn from the market between December 1, 2013, and March 31, 2014. It allows patients with certain medical conditions, such as pregnancy or a terminal illness, to remain under treatment with their existing provider until the treatment is completed. The health care service plan and health insurer must arrange for the covered services to be completed by a nonparticipating provider.
