GINA sections 101 through 104 respectively amended the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), the Public Health Service Act, the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and the Social Security Act to prohibit discrimination in health coverage based on genetic information. GINA sections 101 through 103 generally prevent employment-based group health plans and health insurance issuers in the group and individual markets from discriminating based on genetic information and from collecting such information. The GINA amended ERISA section 702 by adding paragraph (c) that limits a group health plan and an insurer offering such a plan from requesting or requiring genetic testing. See 29 U.S.C. 1182(c). Paragraph (c)(4) provides a research exception that allows a group health plan or group health insurance issuer to request, but not require, a participant or beneficiary to undergo a genetic test if specified conditions are satisfied that include making certain disclosures to the participant or beneficiary. See 29 U.S.C. 1182(c)(4). The EBSA has developed a prototype notice that may be used.
