Six provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act that were signed into law March 24 will take effect September 23.
Some provisions are the extension of coverage for young adults to age 26, free preventive services — such as immunizations for children — on new plans and the prohibition of exclusion of children because of preexisting conditions. The provisions also include the limitation of lifetime limits on insurance coverage for new plans, the regulation of annual limits on insurance coverage for new plans that cost less than $750,000 and the ban on insurance companies from lifting coverage after it has been purchased.
