The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act's Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan — or at least the patients enrolled in it — is getting one last extension.
The Obama administration said Thursday that sick patients in the temporary, federal program now will have until June 30 to select an exchange health plan.
After three previous extensions, coverage for PCIP enrollees will end April 30. But those left in the pool get another two months to enroll in a plan at HealthCare.gov.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services announced the move in a bulletin as a "60-day special enrollment period due to exceptional circumstances for individuals remaining in the program who have not found new coverage that begins on May 1."
