TERMS AND CONDITIONS
By submitting this form, you agree to the following terms and conditions:
1. I understand that the health benefit plans that I have selected provide reimbursement for certain medical/dental/vision costs which are more fully described in the current Evidence of Coverage or Summary Plan Description. I understand there may be instances where treatment decisions made by my physician or service provider, or medical/dental/vision expenses I have incurred may not be covered by my health benefit plan.
2. I understand that if I and/or my dependents, if any, waive coverage and desire to participate in the plan at a later date, coverage may be subject to treatment as a late enrollee and may apply at next open enrollment. I further understand that if I decline enrollment for myself or my eligible dependents, because of other health coverage, I may in the future be able to enroll myself and/or my dependents in this plan provided I request enrollment within 30 days after such coverage ends. In addition, if a new relationship forms as a result of marriage, birth, adoption or placement for adoption, I may be able to enroll myself and my dependent provided that I request enrollment within 30 days after such marriage, birth, adoption or placement for adoption.
3. Most of the Case Western Reserve University plans offered require resolution of malpractice and other disputes through binding arbitration. By enrolling in these plans you agree that any dispute between you (and/or your enrolled dependents) and the medical and/or dental plan must be submitted to binding arbitration if so required by the plan. You are giving up your right to a jury or court trial. For more information regarding each plan's arbitration provisions, please see the appropriate plan booklet.
4. You understand and accept all terms and conditions of the Case Western Reserve University Postdoctoral Benefits Program (Case-PBP) sponsored plans in which you are enrolled as stated in each plan's booklet.
5. When enrolling family members (eligible dependents), the carriers and/or Gallagher Benefit Services may require proof of eligiblity as marriage or birth certificates, adoption papers, tax records, student enrollment documentation (for full-time student eligibility) and you agree to provide such documentation upon request.
6. When you request either Case Western Reserve University or Gallagher Benefit Services (GPA) to intercede on your behalf regarding any issue, you authorize the plan to release to the University and/or GPA representatives any records needed to assist resolution. Some plans may require you to sign a release which allows the plan to release personal health information to the University and/or GPA representatives.
7. You authorize deductions from your earnings to cover your monthly costs, if any, for the plans you have chosen for yourself and your eligible dependents.
8. By submitting this form, you certify that all information provided is true to the best of your knowledge.
9. Domestic Partner Coverage: If you are enrolling your Domestic Partner in the Case-PBP, you must complete and submit required Domestic Partnership Documentation. Failure to do so could prevent your, and your Domestic Partner's, access to benefits under the plans offered. Please submit to the Postdoc Office, Office of Postdoctoral Affairs at the same address listed below for the Life Insurance Beneficiary Form.
10. Federal Privacy Notification: Pursuant to the Federal Privacy Act of 1974, you are hereby notified that disclosure of your Social Security Number is mandatory. Disclosure of the Social Security number is required pursuant to sections 6011 and 6051 of Subtitle F of the Internal Revenue Code and with Regulation 4, Section 404, 1256, Code of Federal Regulations under Section 218, Title II of the Social Security Act, as amended. The Social Security Number is used to verify your identity. The principal use of the number for purposes of the Case-PBP shall be to use as an identifier for the insurance carriers and benefit providers to verify your eligibility and to maintain claim records for you and your eligible dependents.
11. Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA): COBRA provides for continuation of plan coverage for certain periods of time at monthly rates if you or your eligible dependents lose group medical, dental or vision coverage because you terminate your relationship with the University, die, divorce, legally separate or a child ceases to be eligible. Please read and review the "General Notice of COBRA Continuation Coverage Rights" in order to submit your enrollment form.
