Annual Notices
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requires a group health plan to provide a Notice of Special Enrollment Rights annually to all employees who are eligible to participate in the plan.
NOTICE OF SPECIAL ENROLLMENT RIGHTS
Loss of Other Coverage – If you are declining enrollment for yourself or your dependents (including your spouse) because of other health insurance or group health plan coverage, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents in this plan if you or your dependents lose eligibility for that other coverage (or if the employer stops contributing toward your or your dependents’ other coverage). However, you must request enrollment within 30 days after your or your dependents’ other coverage ends (or after the employer stops contributing toward the other coverage). New Dependent as a Result of Marriage, Birth, Adoption or Placement for Adoption - if you have a new dependent as a result of marriage, birth, adoption, or placement for adoption, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents. However, you must request enrollment within 30 days after the marriage, birth, adoption, or placement for adoption. Medicaid or CHIP - If you are declining enrollment for yourself or your dependents (including your spouse) while coverage under Medicaid or a state Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) is in effect, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents in this plan if you or your dependents lose eligibility for that other coverage.
