TO: All Employees Eligible for Medicare Part D and Currently Participating in the ECC Group Health Plan
FROM: Employee Benefits Department
RE: Annual Notice – Medicare Part D – Creditable Coverage
Important Notice from Elgin Community College About
Your Prescription Drug Coverage and Medicare
Please read this notice carefully and keep it where you can find it. This notice has information about
your current prescription drug coverage with Elgin Community College’s group health plan and
about your options under Medicare’s prescription drug coverage. This information can help you
decide whether or not you want to join a Medicare drug plan. If you are considering joining, you
should compare your current coverage, including which drugs are covered at what cost, with the
coverage and costs of the plans offering Medicare prescription drug coverage in your area.
Information about where you can get help to make decisions about your prescription drug coverage
is at the end of this notice.
There are two important things you need to know about your current coverage and Medicare’s
prescription drug coverage:
1. Medicare prescription drug coverage became available in 2006 to everyone with Medicare. You can
get this coverage if you join a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan or join a Medicare Advantage Plan
(like an HMO or PPO) that offers prescription drug coverage. All Medicare drug plans provide at
least a standard level of coverage set by Medicare. Some plans may also offer more coverage for a
higher monthly premium.
2. Elgin Community College has determined that the prescription drug coverage offered by the Blue
Cross Blue Shield of Illinois group health plan (including both the HMO and PPO plans) is, on
average for all plan participants, expected to pay out as much as standard Medicare prescription
drug coverage pays and is therefore considered Creditable Coverage. Because your existing
coverage is Creditable Coverage, you can keep this coverage and not pay a higher premium (a
penalty) if you later decide to join a Medicare drug plan.
_______________________________________________________________________________________
When Can You Join A Medicare Drug Plan?
You can join a Medicare drug plan when you first become eligible for Medicare and each year from October
15
th
through December 7
th
.
However, if you lose your current creditable prescription drug coverage, through no fault of your own, you will
also be eligible for a two (2) month Special Enrollment Period (SEP) to join a Medicare drug plan.
What Happens To Your Current Coverage If You Decide to Join A Medicare Drug Plan?
If you decide to join a Medicare drug plan, your current Elgin Community College coverage will not be affected.
Your current Elgin Community College coverage pays for other health expenses in addition to prescription
drugs. If you enroll in a Medicare prescription plan, you and your eligible dependents may still be eligible to
receive all your current health and prescription drug benefits.
CMSForm10182CCUpdated04/01/2011
If you do decide to join a Medicare drug plan and drop your current Elgin Community College coverage, be
aware that you and your dependents will be able to get this coverage back, subject to the plan’s enrollment
rights.
When Will You Pay A Higher Premium (Penalty) To Join A Medicare Drug Plan?
You should also know that if you drop or lose your current coverage with Elgin Community College and don’t
join a Medicare drug plan within 63 continuous days after your current coverage ends, you may pay a higher
premium (a penalty) to join a Medicare drug plan later.
If you go 63 continuous days or longer without creditable prescription drug coverage, your monthly premium
may go up by at least 1% of the Medicare base beneficiary premium per month for every month that you did
not have that coverage. For example, if you go nineteen months without creditable coverage, your premium
may consistently be at least 19% higher than the Medicare base beneficiary premium. You may have to pay
this higher premium (a penalty) as long as you have Medicare prescription drug coverage. In addition, you may
have to wait until the following October to join.
For More Information About This Notice Or Your Current Prescription Drug Coverage…
Please contact the Benefits Office of Human Resources at (847) 214-7988 or (847) 214-7125.
NOTE: You’ll get this notice each year before the next period you can join a Medicare drug plan and if this
coverage through Elgin Community College changes. You also may request a copy of this notice at any time
and it will be available on e-NET.
For More Information About Your Options Under Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage…
More detailed information about Medicare plans that offer prescription drug coverage is in the “Medicare &
You” handbook. You’ll get a copy of the handbook in the mail every year from Medicare. You may also be
contacted directly by Medicare drug plans.
For more information about Medicare prescription drug coverage:
Visit www.medicare.gov
Call your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (see the inside back cover of your copy of the
“Medicare & You” handbook for their telephone number) for personalized help
Call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227). TTY users should call 1-877-486-2048.
If you have limited income and resources, extra help paying for Medicare prescription drug coverage is
available. For information about this extra help, visit Social Security on the web at www.socialsecurity.gov, or
call them at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778).
Remember: Keep this Creditable Coverage notice. If you decide to join one of the Medicare drug
plans, you may be required to provide a copy of this notice when you join to show whether or not you
have maintained creditable coverage and, therefore, whether or not you are required to pay a higher
premium (a penalty).

Premium Assistance Under Medicaid and the
Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP)
If you or your children are eligible for Medicaid or CHIP and youre eligible for health coverage from your
employer, your state may have a premium assistance program that can help pay for coverage, using funds from
their Medicaid or CHIP programs. If you or your children arent eligible for Medicaid or CHIP, you won’t be
eligible for these premium assistance programs but you may be able to buy individual insurance coverage
through the Health Insurance Marketplace. For more information, visit www.healthcare.gov.
If you or your dependents are already enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP and you live in a State listed below, contact
your State Medicaid or CHIP office to find out if premium assistance is available.
If you or your dependents are NOT currently enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP, and you think you or any of your
dependents might be eligible for either of these programs, contact your State Medicaid or CHIP office or dial 1-
877-KIDS NOW or www.insurekidsnow.gov to find out how to apply. If you qualify, ask your state if it has a
program that might help you pay the premiums for an employer-sponsored plan.
If you or your dependents are eligible for premium assistance under Medicaid or CHIP, as well as eligible under
your employer plan, your employer must allow you to enroll in your employer plan if you arent already enrolled.
This is called a “special enrollment” opportunity, and you must request coverage within 60 days of being
determined eligible for premium assistance. If you have questions about enrolling in your employer plan,
contact the Department of Labor at www.askebsa.dol.gov or call 1-866-444-EBSA (3272).
If you live in one of the following states, you may be eligible for assistance paying your employer health
plan premiums. The following list of states is current as of July 31, 2019. Contact your State for more
information on eligibility

RE: Annual Notice – Notice of Privacy
NOTICE OF PRIVACY PRACTICES
THIS NOTICE DESCRIBES HOW MEDICAL INFORMATION ABOUT COVERED PERSONS MAY BE
USED AND DISCLOSED AND HOW COVERED PERSONS CAN GET ACCESS TO THIS
INFORMATION. PLEASE REVIEW IT CAREFULLY.
This Notice of Privacy Practices (“Notice”) describes how protected health information may be used or
disclosed by this Plan to carry out treatment, payment, health care operations and for other purposes
that are permitted or required by law. This Notice also sets out this Plan’s legal obligations concerning a
Covered Person’s protected health information and describes a Covered Person’s rights to access and
control that protected health information.
Protected health information (“PHI”) is individually identifiable health information, including demographic
information, collected from a Covered Person or created or received by a health care provider, a health
plan, an employer (when functioning on behalf of the group health plan), or a health care clearinghouse
and that relates to: (1) a Covered Person’s past, present or future physical or mental health or
condition; (2) the provision of health care to a Covered Person; or (3) the past, present or future
payment for the provision of health care to a Covered Person.
This Notice has been drafted to be consistent with what is known as the “HIPAA Privacy Rule,” and any
of the terms not defined in this Notice should have the same meaning as they have in the HIPAA
Privacy Rule.
If you have any questions or want additional information about the Notice or the policies and
procedures described in the Notice, please contact your Group Health Plan Privacy Officer or Human
Resources office.
THE PLAN’S RESPONSIBILITIES
The Plan is required by law to maintain the privacy of a Covered Person’s PHI. The Plan is obligated to
provide you with a copy of this Notice of the Plan’s legal duties and of its privacy practices with respect
to PHI, and the Plan must abide by the terms of this Notice. The Plan reserves the right to change the
provisions of this Notice and make the new provisions effective for all PHI that is maintained. If the Plan
makes a material change to this Notice, a revised Notice will be mailed to the address that the Plan has
on record.
When using or disclosing PHI or when requesting PHI from another covered entity, the Plan will make
reasonable efforts not to use, disclose or request more than the minimum amount of PHI necessary to
accomplish the intended purpose of the use, disclosure or request, taking into consideration practical
and technological limitations.
However, the minimum necessary standard will not apply in the following situations:
disclosures to or requests by a health care provider for treatment;
uses or disclosures made to the individual;
disclosures made to the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services;
uses or disclosures that are required by law;
uses or disclosures that are required for compliance with the HIPAA Privacy Rule; and
uses or disclosures made pursuant to an authorization.
*This Notice does not apply to information that has been de-identified. De-identified information is
health information that does not identify an individual and with respect to which there is no reasonable
basis to believe that the information can be used to identify an individual. It is not individually
identifiable health information.
Primary Uses and Disclosures of Protected Health Information
The following is a description of how the Plan is most likely to use/disclose a Covered Person’s PHI.
Treatment, Payment and Health Care Operations
The Plan has the right to use and disclose a Covered Person’s PHI for all activities that are
included within the definitions of “treatment, payment and health care operations” as
described in the HIPAA Privacy Rule.
Treatment
The Plan will use or disclose PHI so that a Covered Person may seek treatment.
Treatment is the provision, coordination or management of health care and related
services. It also includes, but is not limited to consultations and referrals between one or
more of a Covered Person’s providers. For example, the Plan may disclose to a treating
specialist the name of a Covered Person’s primary care physician so that the specialist
may request medical records from that primary care physician.
Payment
The Plan will use or disclose PHI to pay claims for services provided to a Covered
Person and to obtain stop loss reimbursements, if applicable, or to otherwise fulfill the
Plan’s responsibilities for coverage and providing benefits. For example, the Plan may
disclose PHI when a provider requests information regarding a Covered Person’s
eligibility for coverage under this Plan, or the Plan may use PHI to determine if a
treatment that was received was medically necessary.
Health Care Operations
The Plan will use or disclose PHI to support its business functions. These functions
include, but are not limited to quality assessment and improvement, reviewing provider
performance, licensing, stop loss underwriting, business planning and business
development. For example, the Plan may use or disclose PHI: (1) to provide a Covered
Person with information about a disease management program; (2) to respond to a
customer service inquiry from a Covered Person or (3) in connection with fraud and
abuse detection and compliance programs.
Business Associates
The Plan contracts with individuals and entities (Business Associates) to perform various
functions on its behalf or to provide certain types of services. To perform these functions or to
provide the services, the Plan’s Business Associates will receive, create, maintain, use or
disclose PHI, but only after the Plan requires the Business Associates to agree in writing to
contract terms designed to appropriately safeguard PHI. For example, the Plan may disclose
PHI to a Business Associate to administer claims or to provide service support, utilization
management, subrogation or pharmacy benefit management. Examples of the Plan’s
Business Associates would be its third party administrator, broker, preferred provider
organization and utilization review vendor.
Other Covered Entities
The Plan may use or disclose PHI to assist health care providers in connection with their
treatment or payment activities or to assist other covered entities in connection with
payment activities and certain health care operations. For example, the Plan may disclose
PHI to a health care provider when needed by the provider to render treatment to a Covered
Person, and the Plan may disclose PHI to another covered entity to conduct health care
operations in the areas of fraud and abuse detection or compliance, quality assurance and
improvement activities or accreditation, certification, licensing or credentialing. This also
means that the Plan may disclose or share PHI with other insurance carriers in order to
coordinate benefits, if a Covered Person has coverage through another carrier.
Plan Sponsor
The Plan may disclose PHI to the Plan Sponsor of the group health plan for purposes of
plan administration or pursuant to an authorization request signed by the Covered Person.
Also, the Plan may use or disclose “summary health information” to the Plan Sponsor for
obtaining premium bids or modifying, amending or terminating the group health plan.
Summary health information summarizes the claims history, claims expenses or types of
claims experienced by individuals for whom a Plan Sponsor has provided health benefits
under a group health plan and from which identifying information has been deleted in
accordance with the HIPAA Privacy Rule.
Potential Impact of State Law
The HIPAA Privacy Regulations generally do not “preempt” (or take precedence over) state
privacy or other applicable laws that provide individuals greater privacy protections. As a result,
to the extent state law applies, the privacy laws of a particular state, or other federal laws,
rather than the HIPAA Privacy Regulations, might impose a privacy standard under which the
Plan will be required to operate. For example, where such laws have been enacted, the Plan will
follow more stringent state privacy laws that relate to uses and disclosures of PHI concerning
HIV or AIDS, mental health, substance abuse/chemical dependency, genetic testing,
reproductive rights, etc.
Other Possible Uses and Disclosures of PHI
The following is a description of other possible ways in which the Plan may (and is permitted to)
use and/or disclose PHI.
Required by Law
The Plan may use or disclose PHI to the extent that federal law requires the use or
disclosure. When used in this Notice, “required by law” is defined as it is in the HIPAA
Privacy Rule. For example, the Plan may disclose PHI when required by national security
laws or public health disclosure laws.
Public Health Activities
The Plan may use or disclose PHI for public health activities that are permitted or required
by law. For example, the Plan may use or disclose information for the purpose of preventing
or controlling disease, injury, or disability, or it may disclose such information to a public
health authority authorized to receive reports of child abuse or neglect. The Plan also may
disclose PHI, if directed by a public health authority, to a foreign government agency that is
collaborating with the public health authority.
Health Oversight Activities
The Plan may disclose PHI to a health oversight agency for activities authorized by law, such
as: audits; investigations; inspections; licensure or disciplinary actions; or civil,
administrative, or criminal proceedings or actions. Oversight agencies seeking this
information include government agencies that oversee: (1) the health care system; (2)
government benefit programs; (3) other government regulatory programs and (4) compliance
with civil rights laws.
Abuse or Neglect
The Plan may disclose PHI to a government authority that is authorized by law to receive
reports of abuse, neglect or domestic violence. Additionally, as required by law, the Plan
may disclose to a governmental entity, authorized to receive such information, a Covered
Person’s PHI if there is reason to believe that the Covered Person has been a victim of
abuse, neglect, or domestic violence.
Legal Proceedings
The Plan may disclose PHI: (1) in the course of any judicial or administrative proceeding; (2)
in response to an order of a court or administrative tribunal (to the extent such disclosure is
expressly authorized) and (3) in response to a subpoena, a discovery request, or other lawful
process, once the Plan has met all administrative requirements of the HIPAA Privacy Rule.
For example, the Plan may disclose PHI in response to a subpoena for such information, but
only after first meeting certain conditions required by the HIPAA Privacy Rule.
Law Enforcement
Under certain conditions, the Plan also may disclose PHI to law enforcement officials. For
example, some of the reasons for such a disclosure may include, but not be limited to: (1) it
is required by law or some other legal process; (2) it is necessary to locate or identify a
suspect, fugitive, material witness, or missing person or (3) it is necessary to provide
evidence of a crime.
Coroners, Medical Examiners, Funeral Directors, and Organ Donation
The Plan may disclose PHI to a coroner or medical examiner for purposes of identifying a
deceased person, determining a cause of death or for the coroner or medical examiner to
perform other duties authorized by law. The Plan also may disclose, as authorized by law,
information to funeral directors so that they may carry out their duties. Further, the Plan may
disclose PHI to organizations that handle organ, eye or tissue donation and transplantation.
Research
The Plan may disclose PHI to researchers when an institutional review board or privacy
board has: (1) reviewed the research proposal and established protocols to ensure the
privacy of the information and (2) approved the research.
To Prevent a Serious Threat to Health or Safety
Consistent with applicable federal and state laws, the Plan may disclose PHI if there is reason
to believe that the disclosure is necessary to prevent or lessen a serious and imminent
threat to the health or safety of a person or the public. The Plan also may disclose PHI if it is
necessary for law enforcement authorities to identify or apprehend an individual.
Military Activity and National Security, Protective Services
Under certain conditions, the Plan may disclose PHI if Covered Persons are, or were, Armed
Forces personnel for activities deemed necessary by appropriate military command
authorities. If Covered Persons are members of foreign military service, the Plan may
disclose, in certain circumstances, PHI to the foreign military authority. The Plan also may
disclose PHI to authorized federal officials for conducting national security and intelligence
activities, and for the protection of the President, other authorized persons or heads of
state.
Inmates
If a Covered Person is an inmate of a correctional institution, the Plan may disclose PHI to
the correctional institution or to a law enforcement official for: (1) the institution to provide
health care to the Covered Person; (2) the Covered Person’s health and safety and the health
and safety of others or (3) the safety and security of the correctional institution.
Workers' Compensation
The Plan may disclose PHI to comply with workers' compensation laws and other similar
programs that provide benefits for work-related injuries or illnesses.
Others Involved in Your Health Care
Using its best judgment, the Plan may make PHI known to a family member, other relative,
close personal friend or other personal representative that the Covered Person identifies.
Such use will be based on how involved the person is in the Covered Person’s care or in the
payment that relates to that care. The Plan may release information to parents or guardians, if
allowed by law.
The Plan also may disclose PHI to an entity assisting in a disaster relief effort so that a
Covered Person’s family can be notified about his/her condition, status, and location. If a
Covered Person is not present or able to agree to these disclosures of PHI, then, using its
professional judgment, the Plan may determine whether the disclosure is in the Covered
Person’s best interest.
Required Disclosures of PHI
The following is a description of disclosures that the Plan is required by law to make.
Disclosures to the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services The Plan
is required to disclose PHI to the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services when the Secretary is investigating or determining the Plan’s compliance with the
HIPAA Privacy Rule.
Disclosures to Covered Persons
The Plan is required to disclose to a Covered Person most of the PHI in a “designated record
set” when that Covered Person requests access to this information. Generally, a designated
record set contains medical and billing records, as well as other records that are used to
make decisions about a Covered Person’s health care benefits. The Plan also is required to
provide, upon the Covered Person’s request, an accounting of most disclosures of his/her
PHI that are for reasons other than treatment, payment and health care operations and are
not disclosed through a signed authorization.
The Plan will disclose a Covered Person’s PHI to an individual who has been designated by
that Covered Person as his/her personal representative and who has qualified for such
designation in accordance with relevant state law. However, before the Plan will disclose PHI
to such a person, the Covered Person must submit a written notice of his/her designation,
along with the documentation that supports his/her qualification (such as a power of
attorney).
Even if the Covered Person designates a personal representative, the HIPAA Privacy Rule
permits the Plan to elect not to treat that individual as the Covered Person’s personal
representative if a reasonable belief exists that: (1) the Covered Person has been, or may be,
subjected to domestic violence, abuse or neglect by such person; (2) treating such person as
his/her personal representative could endanger the Covered Person, or (3) the Plan
determines, in the exercise of its professional judgment, that it is not in its best interest to
treat that individual as the Covered Person’s personal representative.
Other Uses and Disclosures of PHI
Other uses and disclosures of PHI that are not described previously will be made only with a
Covered Person’s written authorization. If the Covered Person provides the Plan with such
an authorization, he/she may revoke the authorization in writing, and this revocation will be
effective for future uses and disclosures of PHI. However, the revocation will not be effective
for information that has already been used or disclosed, relying on the authorization.
A COVERED PERSON’S RIGHTS
The following is a description of a Covered Person’s rights with respect to PHI:
Right to Request a Restriction
A Covered Person has the right to request a restriction on the PHI the Plan uses or
discloses about him/her for treatment, payment or health care operations. The plan is not
required to agree to any restriction that a Covered Person may request. If the Plan does
agree to the restriction, it will comply with the restriction unless the information is needed to
provide emergency treatment.
A Covered Person may request a restriction by contacting the individual or office referenced
in the beginning of this Notice. It is important that the Covered Person directs his/her
request for restriction to this individual or office so that the Plan can begin to process your
request. Requests sent to individuals or offices other than the one indicated might delay
processing the request.
The Plan will want to receive this information in writing and will instruct the Covered Person
where to send the request when the Covered Person’s call is received. In this request, it is
important that the Covered Person states: (1) the information whose disclosure he/she
wants to limit and (2) how he/she wants to limit the Plan’s use and/or disclosure of the
information.
Right to Request Confidential Communications
If a Covered Person believes that a disclosure of all or part of his/her PHI may endanger
him/her that Covered Person may request that the Plan communicates with him/her
regarding PHI in an alternative manner or at an alternative location. For example, the
Covered Person may ask that the Plan only contact the Covered Person at a work address or
via the Covered Person’s work e-mail.
The Covered Person may request a restriction by contacting the individual or office
referenced in the beginning of this Notice. It is important that the request for confidential
communications is addressed to this individual or office so that the Plan can begin to
process the request. Requests sent to individuals or offices other than the one indicated
might delay processing the request.
The Plan will want to receive this information in writing and will instruct the Covered Person
where to send a written request upon receiving a call. This written request should inform the
Plan: (1) that he/she wants the Plan to communicate his/her PHI in an alternative manner or
at an alternative location and (2) that the disclosure of all or part of this PHI in a manner
inconsistent with these instructions would put the Covered Person in danger.
The Plan will accommodate a request for confidential communications that is reasonable
and that states that the disclosure of all or part of a Covered Person’s PHI could endanger
that Covered Person. As permitted by the HIPAA Privacy Rule, “reasonableness” will (and is
permitted to) include, when appropriate, making alternate arrangements regarding payment.
Accordingly, as a condition of granting a Covered Person’s request, he/she will be required to
provide the Plan information concerning how payment will be handled. For example, if the
Covered Person submits a claim for payment, state or federal law (or the Plan’s own
contractual obligations) may require that the Plan disclose certain financial claim information
to the Plan Participant under whose coverage a Covered Person may receive benefits (e.g.,
an Explanation of Benefits “EOB”). Unless the Covered Person has made other payment
arrangements, the EOB (in which a Covered Person’s PHI might be included) will be released
to the Plan Participant.
Once the Plan receives all the information for such a request (along with the instructions for
handling future communications), the request will be processed usually within two business
days or as soon as reasonably possible.
Prior to receiving the information necessary for this request or during the time it takes to
process it, PHI may be disclosed (such as through an EOB). Therefore, it is extremely
important that the Covered Person contact the Plan at the number listed in this Notice as
soon as the Covered Person determines the need to restrict disclosures of his/her PHI.
If the Covered Person terminates his/her request for confidential communications, the
restriction will be removed for all of the Covered Person’s PHI that the Plan holds, including
PHI that was previously protected. Therefore, a Covered Person should not terminate a
request for confidential communications if that person remains concerned that disclosure of
PHI will endanger him/her.
Right to Inspect and Copy
A Covered Person has the right to inspect and copy PHI that is contained in a “designated
record set.” Generally, a designated record set contains medical and billing records, as well
as other records that are used to make decisions about a Covered Person’s health care
benefits. However, the Covered Person may not inspect or copy psychotherapy notes or
certain other information that may be contained in a designated record set.
To inspect and copy PHI that is contained in a designated record set, the Covered Person
must submit a request by contacting the individual or office referenced in the beginning of
this Notice. It is important that the Covered Person contact this individual or office to
request an inspection and copying so that the Plan can begin to process the request.
Requests sent to individuals or offices other than the one indicated might delay the
processing of the request. If the Covered Person requests a copy of the information, the Plan
may charge a fee for the costs of copying, mailing or other supplies associated with that
request.
The Plan may deny a Covered Person’s request to inspect and copy PHI in certain limited
circumstances. If a Covered Person is denied access to information, he/she may request that
the denial be reviewed. To request a review, the Covered Person must contact the individual
or office referenced in the beginning of this Notice. A licensed health care professional
chosen by the Plan will review the Covered Person’s request and the denial. The person
performing this review will not be the same one who denied the Covered Person’s initial
request. Under certain conditions, the Plan’s denial will not be reviewable. If this event
occurs, the Plan will inform the Covered Person through the denial that the decision is not
reviewable.
Right to Amend
If a Covered Person believes that his/her PHI is incorrect or incomplete, he/she may request
that the Plan amend that information. The Covered Person may request that the Plan amend
such information by contacting the individual or office referenced in the beginning of this
Notice. Additionally, this request should include the reason the amendment is necessary. It
is important that the Covered Person direct this request for amendment to this individual or
office so that the Plan can begin to process the request. Requests sent to individuals or
offices other than the one indicated might delay processing the request.
In certain cases, the Plan may deny the Covered Person’s request for an amendment. For
example, the Plan may deny the request if the information the Covered Person wants to
amend is not maintained by the Plan, but by another entity. If the Plan denies the request,
the Covered Person has the right to file a statement of disagreement with the Plan. This
statement of disagreement will be linked with the disputed information and all future
disclosures of the disputed information will include this statement.
Right of an Accounting
The Covered Person has a right to an accounting of certain disclosures of PHI that are for
reasons other than treatment, payment or health care operations. No accounting of
disclosures is required for disclosures made pursuant to a signed authorization by the
Covered Person or his/her personal representative. The Covered Person should know that
most disclosures of PHI will be for purposes of payment or health care operations, and,
therefore, will not be subject to this right. There also are other exceptions to this right.
An accounting will include the date(s) of the disclosure, to whom the Plan made the
disclosure, a brief description of the information disclosed and the purpose for the
disclosure.
A Covered Person may request an accounting by submitting a request in writing to the
individual or office referenced in the beginning of this Notice. It is important that the
Covered Person direct the request for an accounting to this individual or office so that the
Plan can begin to process the request. Requests sent to individuals or offices other than the
one indicated might delay processing the request.
A Covered Person’s request may be for disclosures made up to 6 years before the date of the
request, but not for disclosures made before April 14, 2004. The first list requested within a
12~month period will be free. For additional lists, the Plan may charge for the costs of
providing the list. The Plan will notify the Covered Person of the cost involved and he/she
may choose to withdraw or modify the request before any costs are incurred.
Right to a Paper Copy of This Notice
The Covered Person has the right to a paper copy of this Notice, even if he/she has agreed to
accept this Notice electronically.
COMPLAINTS
A Covered Person may complain to the Plan if he/she believes that the Plan has violated these
privacy rights. The Covered Person may file a complaint with the Plan by contacting the
individual or office referenced in the beginning of this Notice. A copy of a complaint form is
available from this contact office.
A Covered Person also may file a complaint with the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services. Complaints filed directly with the Secretary must: (1) be in writing; (2)
contain the name of the entity against which the complaint is lodged; (3) describe the relevant
problems and (4) be filed within 180 days of the time the Covered Person became or should
have become aware of the problem.
The Plan will not penalize or in any other way retaliate against a Covered Person for filing
a complaint with the Secretary or with the Plan.
