Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 (GINA)
The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 (GINA) prohibits employers and other entities covered by GINA Tile II from requesting or
requiring genetic information of an individual or family member of the individual , except as specifically allowed by this law. To comply with this law,
we are asking that you not provide any genetic information when responding to this request for medical information. ‘Genetic information’ as defined
by GINA, includes an individual’s family medical history, the results of an individual’s or family member’s genetic tests, the fact that an individual or
an individual’s family member sought or received genetic services, and genetic information of a fetus carried by an individual or an individual’s family
member of an embryo lawfully held by an individual or family member receiving assistive reproductive services.
Federal law requires that we provide the following notice regarding Michelle’s Law [Public Law 110-381]. Please note that changes in federal law may
eliminate certain elements of Michelle’s Law, and the Plan intends to provide continuing coverage of Eligible Dependents up to age twenty-six (26),
irrespective of their student status, for Plan Years beginning on or after September 23, 2010.
A Dependent Child enrolled in, and attending an accredited college, university, trade, or secondary school at least (5) months each year will remain
covered if the Dependent takes a medically necessary leave of absence from school or changes to part-time status. The leave of absence must:
1. Be medically necessary;
2. Commence while the child is suffering from a serious illness or injury; and
3. Cause the child to lose coverage under the plan.
Students are only eligible as long as they were covered by their parent’s health insurance policy prior to diagnosis. Coverage will continue until the
earlier of one year from the first day of the leave of absence or the date on which coverage would otherwise terminate because the child no longer
meets the requirements to be an Eligible Dependent (e.g., reaching the plan’s limiting age).
You must provide a signed, written documentation from the Dependent Child’s treating Practitioner/Provider stating all of the following: 1) the
Dependent Child is suffering from a serious illness or injury necessitating a medical leave of absence; 2) the treating Practitioner/Provider certifies
such leave of absence is Medically Necessary; and 3) the dates when the Dependent will be either on a medically necessary leave of absence from
school or will be changing to part-time status due to a serious illness or injury.
On behalf of myself and my eligible dependents listed above, I hereby agree to the conditions of enrollment attached hereto. If
applicable, my employer is authorized to deduct from my earning the necessary premium contributions, if any, required of me.
