You must complete the "Employer information" section below
You will not be issued an individual policy with the premiums, or a portion thereof, paid or reimbursed by an employer unless you submit a signed affidavit from the employer certifying that the employer has not had a small group health benefit plan providing coverage to any employee in the past twelve (12) months. To see if this applies to you, please answer the following questions. If left blank, your enrollment form will not be processed until you provide the responses to the questions.
*
1. Will an employer of 100 or fewer eligible employees be paying for or reimbursing an employee through wage adjustment or a health reimbursement arrangement for any portion of the premium on the policy being applied for?
If you answered Yes, please continue to question 2. If you answered No, please continue.
*
2. Did the employer have a small group health benefit plan providing coverage to any employee in the twelve (12) months prior to the date of this request for enrollment?
If the answer to both questions 1 and 2 is Yes, you (the applicant) will not be issued an individual policy with the premiums, or portion thereof, paid or reimbursed by the employer. If the answer to question 1 is Yes and the answer to question 2 is No, you (the applicant) must submit a signed affidavit from your employer certifying that the employer has not had a small group health benefit plan providing coverage to any employee in the previous twelve (12) months. The Employer affidavit form to be completed by the employer is at the back of this enrollment form. The submission of this affidavit does not guarantee that the individual policy you are applying for will be issued by the carrier. If you answer Yes to both questions 1 and 2, you may apply for individual coverage if you pay the full premium yourself and are not reimbursed in any way by your employer.
