G. Authorization to Release Medical Information and Signature
Your enrollment in the plan is expressly conditioned upon your acceptance of all terms and conditions contained in this enrollment application. If you do not agree to
the following terms and conditions, you may not complete your enrollment.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
As a condition of my and/or my dependents’ participation in the plan, and in consideration for the privileges that come from participation in the plan, I hereby agree
for myself and/or for my dependents as follows:
I recognize and understand that the plan contracts with physicians and other providers that make up the plan network. I recognize that all physicians and other
providers that participate in the plan network are subject to credentialing under applicable State regulations and pursuant to the plan’s network credentialing
process. I understand that such credentialing includes a review of provider education, training and licensure. However, by participating in the plan I hereby
acknowledge and accept that the plan is not a provider of medical services, and I am aware that obtaining or not obtaining medical care involves significant risks
such as serious injury and even death. I acknowledge that the credentialing of physicians and other providers does not in any way reduce this risk. I agree to
assume all risks and responsibility for any claims including personal injury or death, disability, lost wages, and loss of earning capacity which may be incurred or
associated with medical treatment obtained through a participating physician or other provider. I recognize that all physicians and other providers that participate
in the plan network are independent contractors and not the plan’s employees or agents and are solely responsible for any malpractice, adverse outcomes, or any
other claims arising from medical treatment rendered to me and my dependents. I HEREBY AGREE THAT THE PLAN IS NOT RESPONSIBLE NOR LIABLE
FOR ANY ADVICE, COURSE OF TREATMENT, DIAGNOSIS OR ANY OTHER INFORMATION, SERVICES OR PRODUCTS THAT I OR MY DEPENDENTS
OBTAIN THROUGH A PARTICIPATING NETWORK PHYSICIAN OR OTHER PROVIDER.
I recognize and understand that the plan does not recommend, endorse or make any representation about the appropriateness or suitability of any specific tests,
products, procedures, treatments, services, or opinions. I recognize that the plan, plan documents, and any health and wellness information provided by the plan,
are not intended or implied to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. I agree to confirm any medical information obtained from or
through the plan with other sources, and will review all information regarding any medical condition or treatment with my physician. I HEREBY AGREE TO NEVER
DISREGARD PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL ADVICE OR DELAY SEEKING MEDICAL TREATMENT BECAUSE OF SOMETHING I HAVE READ OR ACCESSED
THROUGH THE PLAN.
I recognize that the plan, plan documents, and any health and wellness information provided by the plan, are not intended or implied to be a substitute for
professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.
I authorize UnitedHealthcare Insurance Company and its affiliates (“UnitedHealthcare and Affiliates”) to obtain, use and disclose my medical, claim or benefit
records, including any individually identifiable health information contained in these records. I understand these records may contain information created by other
persons or entities (including health care providers) as well as information regarding the use of drug, alcohol, HIV/AIDS, mental health (other than psychotherapy
notes), sexually transmitted disease and reproductive health services. I authorize any health care provider, pharmacy benefit manager, other insurer or reinsurer,
hospital, clinic or other medical facility, health care clearinghouse, and any of their affiliates, representatives or business associates, who may be in possession of
my confidential health information, to disclose my information to UnitedHealthcare and Affiliates. I understand this authorization is voluntary and I may refuse to
sign the authorization. My refusal may, however, affect my ability to enroll in the health plan or receive benefits, if permitted by law. I understand I may revoke this
authorization at any time by notifying my UnitedHealthcare and Affiliates representative in writing, except to the extent that action has already been taken in reliance
on this authorization. As required by HIPAA, UnitedHealthcare and Affiliates also request that I acknowledge the following, which I do: I understand that information
I authorize a person or entity to obtain and use may be re-disclosed (with the exception of HIV/AIDS health information) and no longer protected by federal privacy
regulations except as prohibited by state law. This authorization, unless revoked earlier, expires 30 months after the date it is signed.
I understand that I am completing a health application and that each response must be complete and accurate. I (we) request the indicated group medical coverage
for myself and, if the plan provides, for my dependents. I authorize any required premium contributions to be deducted from earnings. I (we) have not given the
agent or any other persons any health information not included on the Request for Coverage. I (we) understand that the HMO/insurance company(ies) is not
bound by any statements I (we) have made to any agent or to any other persons, if those statements are not written or printed on this Request for Coverage and
any attachments. UnitedHealthcare is only seeking to collect information about the current health status of those persons listed on the application. You should not
include any genetic information. Please do not include any family medical history information related to genetic services or genetic diseases for which you believe
you or your dependents may be at risk.
Please maintain a copy of this authorization for your records.
