This provision makes the proposed changes in this subtitle effective for all health plans with anniversary dates beginning on or after January 1, 2014. This provides a reasonable amount of time for employers and health plans to adjust to the required changes in this subtitle. However, it is still a monumental undertaking when viewing the totality of the changes required by the Law.
