C. An accountable health plan may deny enrollment to employees or family members of an employer if the employees or family members are located outside the service area of the accountable health plan and if the denial is applied uniformly without regard to health status-related factors or insurability. D. An accountable health plan that provides an annual open enrollment period of at least thirty-one days may deny enrollment to a late enrollee until the next annual open enrollment period or may require acceptable evidence of insurability.
