Confirm whether the plan was in existence prior to March 23, 2010. If so, is the plan in compliance with grandfathering provisions, pursuant to 45 CFR 147.140? In your application, your plan(s) or policy(ies) provide a lifetime limit. Pursuant to Section 2711 of the PHS Act, you may not have any lifetime limit on your plan as of September 23, 2010, except in the case of nonessential benefits that are permitted under Federal or State law. Plans that previously had a lifetime limit may add an annual limit not less than the lifetime limit without affecting the grandfather status of the plan. Please confirm whether this lifetime limit will be eliminated from your plan. Confirm whether the plan was created pursuant to the Taft-Hartley Act.

Dear Ms. Botwinick, Thank you for getting back to me. Yes, I am certain that there were 13 applications submitted. It looks like Cambridge E is missing from your list below. I know that it was sent in initially and it is on our spreadsheet. Maybe it was an oversight? If you could confirm that it is approved that would be great, if not please advise how we should proceed.
