The law says children under age 19 can no longer be subject to pre-existing condition waiting periods. New HHS regulations amend the definition of pre-existing condition so that plans may no longer deny an application of coverage to an individual under 19 due to a pre-existing condition. Additionally, waivers or pre-existing condition waiting periods to these individuals can not be applied.
