Health Insurance Premium Payment Program (HIPP)

California’s Health Insurance Premium Payment (HIPP) Program requires all California employers (including those not covered by COBRA) to provide terminating employees with notice of special state programs that pay COBRA premiums under certain circumstances.1

  • This is not to be confused with the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

The HIPP notice is required under California law. It is not related to the federal HIPAA or COBRA laws.
