Summary of differences between federal and state regulations

Federal HIPAA portability provisions limit exclusions for preexisting conditions; prohibit discrimination against employees and dependents based on their health status; and allow a special opportunity to enroll in a new plan to individuals in certain circumstances.

States are allowed to go beyond the federal requirements. West Virginia follows the federal requirements.
