Federal regulations require Apex Capital Partners n RDO Frozen to provide benefits-eligible employees with the following notices:
Private Health Information
A portion of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) addresses the protection of confidential health information. It applies to all health benefit plans. In short, the idea is to make sure that confidential health information that identifies (or could be used to identify) you is kept completely confidential. This individually identifiable health information is known as “protected health information” (PHI), and it will not be used or disclosed without your written authorization, except as described in the Plans HIPAA Privacy Notice or as otherwise permitted by federal and state health information privacy laws. A copy of the Plan’s Notice of Privacy Practices that describes the Plan’s policies, practices and your rights with respect to your PHI under HIPAA is available from your medical plan provider. For more information regarding this Notice, please contact Apex Capital Partners Resources or the medical plan directly.
Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act
Apex Capital Partners’s medical plans, as required by the Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998, provides benefits for mastectomy-related services. These services include:
This coverage will be provided in consultation with the attending physician and the patient, and will be subject to the same annual deductibles and coinsurance provisions that apply to the mastectomy. For more information, contact your medical plan provider.
Special Enrollment Rights
If you are declining enrollment for yourself or your dependents (including your spouse) because of other health insurance coverage, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents in a Apex Capital Partners health plan if you or your dependents lose eligibility for that other coverage (or if the employer stops contributing towards you or your dependents’ other coverage.) However, you must request enrollment within 30 days after you or your dependent’s other coverage ends (or after the employer stops contributing toward the other coverage.)
In addition, if you have a new dependent as a result of marriage, birth, adoption, or placement for adoption, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents, provided that your request enrollment within 30 days after the marriage, birth, adoptions, or placement for adoption. For more information, contact Apex Capital Partners Resources.
Notice of Prescription Drug Creditable Coverage
Apex Capital Partners provides a “Notice of Prescription Drug Creditable Coverage” to all Medicare-eligible participants on an annual basis. This notice states that under the Apex Capital Partners medical plan, you have prescription drug coverage that is, on average, as generous as the standard Medicare prescription Drug Coverage. If you or an enrolled dependent becomes eligible for Medicare, you will receive this notice for your records. A copy is available upon request from Martin/ Martin Resources.
Individual Coverage Mandate
Effective January 1, 2014, Federal law requires that you have Health Care coverage or you may be subject to an income tax penalty. You can enroll in Apex Capital Partners’s health plan, or you may want to consider visiting www.healthcare.gov for information on health plans available through the Healthcare Marketplace in your area.
Grandfathered Plan Status (Only Applies to Colorado Traditional HMO)
Apex Capital Partners’s group health plan believes this plan is a “grandfathered health plan” under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the Affordable Care Act). As permitted by the Affordable Care Act, a grandfathered health plan can preserve certain basic health coverage that is already in effect when that law was enacted. Being a grandfathered health plan means that Apex Capital Partners’s group health plan may not include certain consumer protections of the Affordable Care Act that apply to other plans, for example, the requirement for the provision of preventive health services without any cost sharing. However, grandfathered health plans must comply with certain other consumer protections in the Affordable Care Act, for example, the elimination of lifetime limits on benefits.
You can contact the Employee Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor at 1-866-444-3272 or www.dol.gov/ebsa/healthform. This website has a table summarizing which protections do and do not apply to a grandfathered health plans.
Premium Assistance Under Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP)
If you or your children are eligible for Medicaid or CHIP and you are eligible for health coverage from your employer, your State may have a premium assistance program that can help pay for coverage. These States use funds from their Medicaid or CHIP programs to help people who are eligible for these programs, but also have access to health insurance through their employer. If you or your children are not eligible for Medicaid or CHIP, you will not be eligible for these premium assistance programs.
If you or your dependents are already enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP and you live in a State listed on the next page, you can 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, you can 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, you can ask the State if it has a program that might help you pay the premiums for an employer-sponsored plan.
Once it is determined that you or your dependents are eligible for premium assistance under Medicaid or CHIP, as well as eligible under your employer plan, your employer must permit you to enroll in your employer plan if you are not 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 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, 2013. You should contact your State on the next page for further information on eligibility:
