(c) This rule does not apply if the rule in Paragraph (1) can determine the order of benefits Drafting Note: COBRA originally provided that coverage under a new group health plan caused the COBRA coverage to end. An amendment passed as part of P.L. 101-239, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1989 (OBRA 89), allows the COBRA coverage to continue if the newly acquired group health plan contains any preexisting condition exclusion or limitation. In this instance two group health plans will cover the person, and the rule above will be used to determine which of the plans determines its benefits first. In addition, some states have continuation provisions comparable to COBRA.
