A small group can have as few as 1 employee, not 10!

The part about restrictions on waiting periods and pre-existing conditions seems tricky; I thought they could apply those to all individuals, not just high-risk ones.

I feel like I read that health plans can't cancel coverage based on claims experience, so that one might be true.

I think the statement about needing more than 10 employees for group underwriting sounds familiar, but I can't recall the exact number.

I remember studying that health plans have to issue contracts to small groups, but I’m not sure if it’s for every employer that requests it.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about the details of HIPAA's small group market requirements. I'll have to think through each option closely.

This HIPAA question looks straightforward, but I'll need to carefully read through each statement to determine which one is false.

Wait, there's a small group market? I thought HIPAA was just for big corporations. This exam is getting way too specific!

This is a tricky one, but I think Option D is the false statement. Health plans can't really limit coverage for high-risk individuals, can they?
