Answer: 

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPAC) was signed into law to reform the health care industry by President Barack Obama on March 23, 2012, and it mandates that individuals who go without coverage for three consecutive months must pay a penalty. Therefore, the surrogate is required to have an insurance coverage program through her employment, or a public insurance program prior to surrogacy services and IP will not be responsible for any these insurance payments.

The insurance premiums can be paid by the Monthly Non-Accountable Expense Allowance of $300.00 that is stated in the 634 Compensation and Benefits Agreement.
