Eligibility for these premium assistance programs is generally tied to Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), providing a vital bridge for families who qualify for public aid but have access to private work plans. Gaining such assistance triggers a special enrollment period, allowing employees to join their company’s plan outside of standard timeframes.
Our health plan is committed to maintaining the privacy of your Protected Health Information (PHI) and ensuring you understand how this data is used and shared. Under the guidelines established by laws like HIPAA and HITECH, you have specific rights, including the ability to inspect and copy your medical records, request restrictions on how your information is disclosed for treatment or payment, and receive an accounting of certain disclosures made over the past six years. While we use your PHI to facilitate your care and run our organization, your written authorization is generally required for activities like marketing or the release of psychotherapy notes. We are dedicated to using only the minimum necessary information to accomplish these tasks and will notify you promptly in the event of a data breach. If you have questions about your rights or wish to file a complaint regarding your privacy, please contact our HR representative or the U.S. Department of Health and Human Service
