Prohibition on excessive waiting periods [For application of this section, see 79 Del. Laws, c. 99, 19].

A group health plan and a health insurer offering group health insurance coverage shall not apply any waiting period that exceeds 90 days. As used in this section, “waiting period” means the period that must pass before coverage for an employee or dependent who is otherwise eligible to enroll under the terms of a group health plan can become effective.
