ACKNOWLEDGMENTS, AGREEMENTS, AND AUTHORIZATIONS APPLICABLE TO EMPLOYMENT-BASED HEALTH BENEFIT PLAN COVERAGE OFFERED
BY OR ADMINISTERED THROUGH BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD OF ARIZONA (BCBSAZ), an independent licensee of the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association
On behalf of myself and the persons listed on this application as eligible dependents, I acknowledge, agree, and authorize the following:
A. I have received information summarizing the terms and conditions of the health coverage available through my employment (“Coverage”). The Coverage is either (a) group health
insurance that my employer has purchased from BCBSAZ; or (b) a group benefit plan, for which BCBSAZ provides certain administrative, claims payment, and utilization management
services, and provider network access, but does not assume financial risk or obligation for claims.
B. I have carefully reviewed this entire application form and the answers I’ve provided. My answers are material to BCBSAZ. BCBSAZ will rely on my information to determine my
employer group’s eligibility for BCBSAZ coverage or administrative services, and to establish premium rates or administrative fees for my employer group.
C. My application includes any other enrollment forms I complete when applying for this coverage. This completed application becomes a part of my group’s contract with BCBSAZ,
except for any provisions related to life and disability coverage or separate financial accounts (HSA, FSA, HRA).
D. BCBSAZ does not underwrite or guarantee any separate life and/or disability insurance that may be offered by my employer group health plan. BCBSAZ is independent from any
companies that offer such coverage.
E. BCBSAZ does not administer or guarantee any separate financial account or arrangement (HSA, HRA, FSA) that may be part of the group benefit plan sponsored by my employer.
BCBSAZ is independent from any companies that administer such coverage or accounts.
F. My coverage shall become effective only when BCBSAZ: (1) reviews and accepts this application and (2) issues coverage to my employer group and me on effective dates assigned by
BCBSAZ in accordance with the employer’s terms for coverage.
G. The contract between my employer group and BCBSAZ controls the administration of this group coverage. The Coverage is subject to change, as permitted under applicable state and
federal law, and in accordance with the terms of the contract between my employer and BCBSAZ. My employer is responsible for notifying me of all changes, including termination of
the employer group contract for any reason.
H. If the contract between my employer group and BCBSAZ is terminated, I may be eligible for other coverage as required under state and/or federal law.
I. BCBSAZ, its reinsurers, or their respective authorized representatives may need to obtain medical information to process claims, and may collect personal information from
someone other than me or one of the proposed covered persons. I authorize any physician, practitioner, hospital, clinic, or other health-related provider or facility to furnish my
health information, including information related to drug use, alcoholism, mental illness, HIV, and AIDS (but not genetic testing or family history), to BCBSAZ, its reinsurers, and their
respective authorized representatives. BCBSAZ may use this information, and any of my information already in its possession to process claims. When permitted by law BCBSAZ may
disclose this information to third parties without my permission.
J. If I am declining enrollment for myself or my dependents (including my spouse) because of other health or dental coverage, I may be able to enroll myself and my dependents in this
BCBSAZ plan if my dependents or I lose eligibility for the other coverage (or if the employer group stops contributing towards my or my dependents’ other coverage). I must request
enrollment in this Coverage within 30 days after other coverage ends. For a complete list of special enrollment events, please refer to your Benefit Plan Booklet.
K. If I have a new dependent as a result of marriage, birth, adoption, or placement of adoption, I may be able to enroll myself and/or my dependents, if I request enrollment within
31 days (60 days for small groups*) after marriage, birth, adoption, or placement of adoption. For a complete list of special enrollment events, please refer to your Benefit Plan Booklet.
(To request special enrollment or obtain more information contact: Group Enrollment Services at 602-864-4456 or 1-800-232-2345, ext. 4456.)
L. Information regarding other health plan coverage is not used to determine preexisting conditions for BCBSAZ plans beginning or renewing on or after January 1, 2014.
M. I am responsible for any costs associated with obtaining medical records needed to process claims.
N. By including my email address on this form, I authorize BCBSAZ to send me information via email. I can change my email address or rescind this permission at any time by contacting
BCBSAZ through azblue.com.
O. Federal statute and BCBSAZ business processes require BCBSAZ or my employer plan sponsor to obtain the Social Security number (SSN) for most applicants.
