A Consumer's Guide to Getting and Keeping Health Insurance in Nevada
As a Nevada resident, you have rights under federal law and state law that will protect you when you seek to buy, keep, or switch your health insurance, even if you have a serious health condition.
This guide describes your protections as a Nevada resident. Chapter 1 gives an overview of your protections. Chapters 2 and 3 explain your protections under group health plans and individual health insurance. Chapter 4 highlights your protections as a small employer. Chapter 5 summarizes help that may be available to you if you cannot afford health coverage. If you move away from Nevada, your protections may change. Since this guide is a summary, it may not answer all of your questions. For places to contact for more information, 31.
