(Reuters) - UnitedHealth Group Inc said on Wednesday it would immediately stop terminating healthcare coverage for policyholders after they become ill, to comply with a new healthcare law months ahead of schedule.

Other insurers, such as Aetna Inc and Assurant Inc unit Assurant Health, have said they would end rescission ahead of the deadline but they did not say when.

On Tuesday, WellPoint Inc said it would end rescission on May 1.
