Insurance Company, and that such coverage will be effective only if we have paid our first month’s premium and this application is accepted.
10. Life and Disability only: The advance premium check does not create temporary or interim insurance coverage and that receipt and deposit of
that payment does not guarantee issuance of insurance coverage. Rather, issuance of insurance coverage is expressly conditioned on Anthem
Blue Cross Life and Health Insurance Company’s determination that the group is an acceptable risk based on their current underwriting practices
and procedures. Unless these Conditions are met, there shall be no liability on the part of Anthem Blue Cross Life and Health Insurance
Company, except to refund the payment. The employer will be responsible for returning to individual employees any part of the payment

coverage applied for herein. In that event, Anthem Blue Cross Life and Health Insurance Company shall notify the employer of such differences,

13. The premium rates calculated for the employer are contingent, based upon the accuracy of the eligibility data submitted on employees and
covered dependents to Anthem by the employer. Anthem reserves the right to review such rates upon receipt of all individual applications for
employers’ employees and to modify the rates, if the enrollment information so warrants. Any fraud or intentional misrepresentation of material
fact on the employees’ applications may, within the first 24 months following the issuance of the coverage, result in a material change to the
group’s coverage or premium rates as of the effective date of the group coverage.
14. The entire application for Group coverage has been reviewed, and all answers contained herein are true and complete to the best of the
employer’s and/or authorized representative’s knowledge and belief.
15. All employees applying for coverage are employees of the employer and receive salary or wages documented on state and/or federal payroll
reports. Eligible employees must work the required amount of hours per week, must be actively at work, have satisfied any applicable eligible
waiting period, and meet any other eligibility requirements for coverage.
16. The requested coverage is not in effect unless and until this application is approved by Anthem, that approval of coverage shall be evidenced by

day of the month in which Anthem and/or Anthem Blue Cross Life and Health Insurance Company received the written notification of cancellation,

Health Insurance Company will refund these premiums after 45 days from the premium deposit date.
20. We further understand and agree that we should keep prior coverage in force until notified of acceptance in writing by Anthem and/or Anthem
Blue Cross Life and Health Insurance Company and that no agent has the right to accept this application or bind coverage.
21. If this application is accepted, it becomes a part of our contract with Anthem and/or Anthem Blue Cross Life and Health Insurance Company.

It’s important we treat you fairly
That’s why we follow federal civil rights laws in our health programs and activities. We don’t discriminate, exclude
people, or treat them differently on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age or disability. For people with
disabilities, we offer free aids and services. For people whose primary language isn’t English, we offer free
language assistance services through interpreters and other written languages. Interested in these services? Call
the Member Services number on your ID card for help (TTY/TDD: 711). If you think we failed to offer these
services or discriminated based on race, color, national origin, age, disability, or sex, you can file a complaint,
also known as a grievance. You can file a complaint with our Compliance Coordinator in writing to Compliance
Coordinator, P.O. Box 27401, Mail Drop VA2002-N160, Richmond, VA 23279. Or you can file a complaint with
the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office for Civil Rights at 200 Independence Avenue, SW;
Room 509F, HHH Building; Washington, D.C. 20201 or by calling 1-800-368-1019 (TDD: 1- 800-537-7697) or
