________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

WAIVER: I certify that I have been given the opportunity to apply for group health insurance and decline to enroll as indicated above, on behalf of myself, my spouse and my dependent child(ren). I understand that by signing this waiver, I, my spouse, and my dependent child(ren) forfeit the right to coverage. I was not pressured, forced or unfairly induced by my employer, the agent or the insurer(s) into waiving or declining the group health insurance. If in the future I apply for coverage, I, my spouse, or any of my dependent child(ren) may be treated as a late enrollee and subject to postponement or an exclusion of coverage for preexisting conditions for a period of up to 18 months. This period may be offset by the time I, my spouse or my dependent child(ren) was covered under a qualified health plan.

I understand that if I am declining enrollment for myself, my spouse, or my dependent child(ren) because of other health insurance coverage, including Medicaid, I may in the future be able to enroll myself, my spouse, or my dependent child(ren) in this plan, provided that I request enrollment within 30 days after my other health coverage ends or 60 days after Medicaid ends. In addition, if I gain a dependent spouse or child(ren) as a result of marriage, birth, adoption, or placement for adoption, I understand that I may be able to enroll myself, my spouse and my dependent child(ren), provided that I request enrollment within 30 days after the marriage, birth, adoption or placement for adoption. If I am declining enrollment for myself, my spouse or my dependent child(ren) because of coverage under Medicaid, I understand that if I, my spouse or my dependent child(ren) become eligible for group health plan premium assistance under Medicaid, I may be able to enroll myself, my spouse or my dependent child(ren), provided I request enrollment within 60 days of initial eligibility for the premium assistance. I understand that I can obtain enrollment information from my employer or small employer group health insurance carrier.

X. TERMS AND CONDITIONS

I hereby enroll for coverage under the insurance coverage(s) for which I am presently eligible, or for which I may become eligible under my employer’s group contract(s). I have indicated in this Wisconsin Uniform Employee Application for Small Employer Group Health Insurance, if required, the Provider or Product Selection. I understand and agree that the information obtained by using this Application will be used by the insurer(s) to determine eligibility for benefits under my employer’s group insurance policies. I, on behalf of myself, my spouse and my dependent child(ren), if any, named herein, agree to cooperate in providing the insurer(s) with information needed to process this Application. This might include signing a form for the release by hospitals, doctors, and other health care providers of pertinent heath care records to the Medical Information Bureau, the insurer(s) or their legal representatives.

I acknowledge that I have read and completed the entire Application. If I received assistance in reading or completing this Application, I have identified in the space provided below the person(s) who provided me with such assistance. I declare and agree that the answers are, to the best of my knowledge and belief, complete and true and, together with any supplements or addendums thereto, shall be the basis for any certificate of coverage or certificate of insurance issued. I understand and agree that neither the employer nor the agent has the authority to waive a complete answer to any question, pass on insurability, alter any contract, or waive any of the insurer’s other rights or requirements. I additionally agree that the insurer(s) is not liable for any statement, representation, or other information provided to me, my spouse or my dependent child(ren) that is not expressly contained in a written document provided by the insurer and signed by an authorized officer of the insurer. I agree that no insurance will be effective until the date specified by the company on the certificate of coverage or certificate of insurance after this application has been accepted. I understand that any misrepresentation contained herein and relied upon by the insurer may be used to reduce or deny a claim or void the contract within the contestable period if such misrepresentation materially affects the acceptance of risk. I also understand that if I decline any coverage, future changes in coverage are NOT automatic and may be subject to the insurer’s approval.

I understand and acknowledge that any person who, with intent to defraud or knowledge that the person is facilitating a fraud against an insurer, submits an application or files a claim containing a false deceptive statement is committing a fraudulent act that is a crime. I further understand and acknowledge that in some states, any person who, for the purpose of intentionally misleading an insurer or other person, conceals significant information from an application or claim is committing a fraudulent act.

If any payroll deductions are required for this coverage, I authorize such deductions from my earnings. I reserve the right to revoke this deduction authorization at any time upon written notice to the employer. An Application should not be submitted more than 45 days prior to the effective date. This document will become a part of the insurance contract when coverage is approved and issued.
