(6) Restrictions on enrollment.--The following restrictions
on enrollment in a qualified health plan offered through an
Exchange, during any enrollment period described in paragraph
(5), shall apply:

[[Page S13199]]

(A) During any enrollment period or upon any qualifying
event (described in section 603 of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974), an individual who, in the
previous year was enrolled in a qualified health plan through
an Exchange, may not enroll in a qualified health plan
offering a level of coverage (as defined in section
1302(d)(1)) that is more than one level greater than the
level at which the individual received coverage in the
previous year.
(B) If an individual misses the first enrollment period for
which such individual is eligible to enroll in a qualified
health plan offered through an Exchange, if such individual
enrolls in a health plan through an Exchange during the next
enrollment period, for a period of not more than 90 days
after first enrolling in such plan, such individual shall not
receive coverage for elective services that are not of urgent
medical necessity, except where the denial of services could
pose significant risk to the life of such individual, or
could be reasonably assumed to exacerbate an underlying
condition. At no time after an individual described in the
preceding sentence enrolls in a qualified health plan offered
through an Exchange may such individual be denied coverage
for preventive health services (as described in section 2713
of the Public Health Service Act, as added by section 1001)
or the treatment of chronic conditions that otherwise are
available under the health plan.
