When must a plan begin to provide coverage pursuant to a National Medical Support Notice (NMSN)?
Coverage must begin at the earliest possible date following receipt of the NMSN. For example, if an insured plan only adds new participants or beneficiaries as of the first day of each month, the plan would be required to provide coverage as of the first day of the first month following the receipt of the NMSN. Section 1908 of the Social Security Act requires that when a child is enrolled in a plan pursuant to a court or administrative order, that enrollment be made without regard to open-enrollment restrictions.
