The concept of creditable coverage is that individuals should be given credit for previous health coverage when moving from one employer group health plan to another, from an employer group health plan to an individual policy, or from certain kinds of individual coverage to an employer group health plan. Most health coverage is creditable coverage, including prior coverage under a group health plan (including a governmental or church plan), health coverage (either group or individual), Medicare, Medicaid, a military-sponsored health care program such as CHAMPUS, a program of the Indian Health Service, a State high risk pool, the Federal Employees Health Benefit Program, a public health plan, and a health benefit plan provided for Peace Corps members. What is a certificate of creditable coverage? The certificate of creditable coverage is intended to establish an individual's prior creditable coverage for purposes of reducing the extent to which a plan or issuer offering health coverage in the group market can apply a preexisting condition exclusion. The certificate of creditable coverage is a written document that reflects certain details about an individual's creditable health coverage.

The question was "Do you have the ability to suppress the HIPAA certificates of creditable coverage if requested" I've yet to see any reference to a HIPAA certificate of creditable coverage. Can anyone help me with a definition for this?
