How We Protect Your Privacy

We are required by law to protect the privacy of your protected health information (PHI) and to provide you with this notice of our privacy practices. We will not disclose confidential information without your authorization unless it is necessary to provide your health benefits and administer the Plan(s), or as otherwise required or permitted by law. When we need to disclose individually identifiable information, we will follow the policies described in this Notice to protect your confidentiality.

We maintain confidential information and have procedures for accessing and storing confidential records. We restrict internal access to your confidential information to employees who need that information to provide your benefits. We train those individuals on policies and procedures designed to protect your privacy. Our Privacy Officer monitors how we follow those policies and procedures and educates our organization on this important topic.

How We May Use and Disclose Your Protected Health Information

We will not use your confidential information or disclose it to others without your written authorization, except for the following purposes. When required by law, we will restrict disclosures to the Limited Data Set, or otherwise as necessary, to the minimum necessary information to accomplish the intended purpose.

Treatment. We may disclose your PHI to your health care provider for its provision, coordination or management of your health care and related services. For example, we may disclose your PHI to a health care provider when the provider needs that information to provide treatment to you. We may also disclose PHI to another covered entity to conduct health care operations in the areas of quality assurance and improvement activities or accreditation, certification, licensing or credentialing.

Payment. We may use or disclose your PHI for the following to provide payment for the treatment you receive under the Plan(s): to pay and manage your claims, coordinate your benefits and review health care services provided to you; to determine your eligibility or coverage for health benefits and evaluate medical necessity or appropriateness of care or charges; to preauthorize services to you and review the services provided to you; to obtain payment under a contract for reinsurance, including stop-loss insurance; to adjudicate your claims; and we may disclose your PHI to other health care providers or entities who need your PHI to obtain or provide payment for your treatment.

Health Care Operations. We may use or disclose your PHI for our health care operations, for example, we may use or disclose your PHI to conduct audits, for purposes of underwriting and rate-making, as well as for purposes of risk management; to provide you with customer service activities or develop programs; to our attorneys, accountants and other consultants who assist us in performing our functions; to other health care providers or entities for certain health care operations activities, such as quality assessment and improvement activities, case management and care coordination; or as needed to obtain or maintain accreditation or licenses to provide services. We will only disclose your PHI to these entities if they have or have had a relationship with you and your PHI pertains to that relationship, such as with other health plans or insurance carriers in order to coordinate benefits, if you or your family members have coverage through another health plan.

Disclosures Between Health Plans. In addition to the uses and disclosures of your PHI for purposes of treatment, payment and health care operations discussed above, the Plan(s) may share your PHI with each other. The Plan(s) have entered into an "organized health care arrangement" to coordinate their operations and to better serve you and the other participants and beneficiaries of the Plan(s). To do this, the Plan(s) may need to share PHI with each other in order to manage their operations. However, the Plan(s) will only share your PHI information with each other as is necessary for the treatment, payment or health care operations of the Plan(s) and their common operation.

Disclosures to the Plan Sponsor. We may disclose your PHI to the Plan sponsor. The Plan sponsor is not permitted to use PHI for any purpose other than the administration of the Plan(s). The Plan sponsor must certify, among other things, that it will only use and disclose your PHI as permitted by the Plan(s), it will restrict access to your PHI to those individuals whose job it is to administer the Plan(s) and it will not use PHI for any employment-related actions or decisions. The Plan(s) may also disclose enrollment information to the Plan sponsor. The Plan(s) may also disclose summary health information to the Plan sponsor for purposes of obtaining bids for health insurance or lending or modifying the Plan(s).

Disclosures to Business Associates. We contract with individuals and entities (business associates) to perform various functions on our behalf or provide certain types of services. To perform these functions or provide these services, our business associates will receive, create, maintain, use or disclose PHI. We require the business associates to agree in writing to contract terms to safeguard your information, consistent with federal law. For example, we may disclose your PHI to a business associate to administer claims or provide service support, utilization management, subrogation or pharmacy benefit management.

Disclosures to Family Members or Others. Unless you object, we may provide relevant portions of your PHI to a family member, friend or other person you indicate is involved in your health care or in helping you receive payment for your health care. If you are not capable of agreeing or objecting to these disclosures because of, for instance, an emergency situation, we will disclose PHI (as we determine) in your best interest. After the emergency, we will give you the opportunity to object to future disclosures to family and friends.

Other Uses and Disclosures. The law allows us to disclose PHI without your prior authorization in the following circumstances:

Required by law. We may use and disclose your PHI to comply with the law.

Public health activities. We will disclose PHI when we report to a public health authority for purposes such as public health surveillance, public health investigations or suspected child abuse.

Reports about victims of abuse, neglect or domestic violence. We will disclose your PHI in these reports only if we are required or authorized by law to do so, or if you otherwise agree.

To health oversight agencies. We will provide PHI as requested to government agencies that have the authority to audit or investigate our operations.

Lawsuits and disputes. If you are involved in a lawsuit or dispute, we may disclose your PHI in response to a subpoena or other lawful request, but only if efforts have been made to tell you about the request or obtain a court order that protects the PHI requested.

Law enforcement. We may release PHI if asked to do so by a law enforcement official in the following circumstances: (a) to respond to a court order, subpoena, warrant, summons or similar process; (b) to identify or locate a suspect, fugitive, material witness or missing person; (c) to assist the victim of a crime if, under certain limited circumstances, we are unable to obtain the person's agreement; (d) to investigate a death we believe may be due to criminal conduct; (e) to investigate criminal conduct; and (f) to report a crime, its location or victims or the identity, description or location of the person who committed the crime (in emergency circumstances).

Coroners, medical examiners and funeral directors. We may disclose PHI to facilitate the duties of these individuals.

Organ procurement. We may disclose PHI to facilitate organ donation and transplantation.

Medical research. We may disclose PHI for medical research projects, subject to strict legal restrictions.

Serious threat to health or safety. We may disclose your PHI to someone who can help prevent a serious threat to your health and safety or the health and safety of another person or the general public.

Special government functions. We may disclose PHI to various departments of the government such as the U.S. military or U.S. Department of State.

Workers' compensation or similar programs. We may disclose your PHI when necessary to comply with worker's compensation laws.

Uses and Disclosures With Your Written Authorization

We will not use or disclose your confidential information for any purpose other than the purposes described in this Notice, without your written authorization. For example, we will not (1) supply confidential information to another company for its marketing purposes (unless it is for certain limited Health Care Operations), (2) sell your confidential information (unless under strict legal restrictions), or (3) provide your confidential information to a potential employer with whom you are seeking employment without your signed authorization. You may revoke an authorization that you previously have given by sending a written request to our Privacy Officer, but not with respect to any actions we already have taken.

Your Individual Rights

You have the following rights:

Right to inspect and copy your protected health information. Except for limited circumstances, you may review and copy your PHI. Your request must be addressed to the Privacy Officer. In certain situations we may deny your request, but if we do, we will tell you in writing of the reasons for the denial and explain your rights with regard to having the denial reviewed. If the information you request is in an electronic health record, you may request that these records be transmitted electronically to yourself or a designated individual.

If you request copies of your PHI, we may charge you a reasonable fee to cover the cost. Alternatively, we may provide you with a summary or explanation of your PHI, upon your request if you agree to the rules and cost (if any) in advance.

Right to correct or update your protected health information. If you believe that the PHI we have is incomplete or incorrect, you may ask us to amend it. Your request must be made in writing and must be addressed to the Privacy Officer. To process your request, you must use the form we provide and explain why you think the amendment is appropriate. We will inform you in writing as to whether the amendment will be made or denied. If we agree to make the amendment, we will make reasonable efforts to notify other parties of your amendment. If we agree to make the amendment, we will also ask you to identify others you would like us to notify.

We may deny your request if you ask us to amend information that:

Was not created by us, unless the person who created the information is no longer available to make the amendment;
Is not part of the PHI we keep about you;
Is not part of the PHI that you would be allowed to see or copy; or
Is determined by us to be accurate and complete.

If we deny the requested amendment, we will notify you in writing on how to submit a statement of disagreement or complaint or request inclusion of your original amendment request as part of your PHI.

Right to obtain a list of the disclosures. You have the right to get a list of PHI disclosures, which is also referred to as an accounting. You must make a written request to the Privacy Officer to obtain this information.

The list will not include disclosures we have made as authorized by law. For example, the accounting will not include disclosures made for treatment, payment and health care operations purposes (except as noted in the following paragraph). Also, no accounting will be made for disclosures made directly to you or under an authorization that you provided or those made to your family or friends. The list will not include other disclosures, including incidental disclosures, disclosures we have made for national security purposes, disclosures to law enforcement personnel or disclosures made before April 14, 2003. The list we provide will include disclosures made within the last six years unless you specify a shorter period.

You may also request and receive an accounting of disclosures of electronic health records made for payment, treatment, or health care operations during the prior three years for disclosures made on or after (1) January 1, 2014 for electronic health records acquired before January 1. 2009, or (2) January 1, 2011 for electronic health records acquired on or after January 1, 2009.

The first list you request within a 12-month period will be free. You may be charged for providing any additional lists within a 12-month period.

Right to choose how we communicate with you. You have the right to ask that we send information to you at a specific address (for example, at work rather than at home) or in a specific manner (for example, by e-mail rather than by regular mail). We must agree to your request if you state that disclosure of the information may put you in danger.

Right to request additional restrictions on health information. You may request restrictions on our use and disclosure of your confidential information for the treatment, payment and health care operations purposes explained in this Notice. While we will consider all requests for restrictions carefully, we are not required to agree to a requested restriction. However, we must comply with your request to restrict a disclosure of your confidential information for payment or health care operations if you paid for these services in full, out of pocket.

Questions and Complaints

If you believe your privacy rights have been violated, you may file a complaint with us or the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. To file a complaint with us, put your complaint in writing and address it to the Privacy Officer listed below. The Plan(s) will not retaliate against you for filing a complaint. You may also contact the Privacy Officer if you have questions or comments about our privacy practices.

Future Changes to Our Practices and This Notice

We are required to follow the terms of the privacy notice currently in effect. However, we reserve the right to change our privacy practices and make any such change applicable to the PHI we obtained about you before the change. If a change in our practices is material, we will revise this Notice to reflect the change. We will send or provide a copy of the revised Notice. You may also obtain a copy of any revised Notice by contacting the Privacy Officer.

Notice Regarding Your Wellness Program

Your wellness program is a voluntary wellness program available to all eligible individuals. The program is administered according to federal rules permitting employer-sponsored wellness programs that seek to improve individual health or prevent disease, including the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008, and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, as applicable, among others. If you choose to participate in the wellness program you may be asked to complete a voluntary Health Assessment (HA) (also referred to as Health Risk Assessment (HRA), Health Risk Questionnaire (HRQ), Wellness Assessment (WA), Personal Health Assessment (PHA), Health Risk Evaluation (HRE) or Health Behavior Questionnaire (HBQ) that asks a series of questions about your health-related activities and behaviors and whether you have or had certain medical conditions (e.g., cancer, diabetes, or heart disease). You may also be asked to complete a biometric screening, which will include a blood test for various biometric measurements, e.g., BMI, Blood Pressure, Glucose, etc. You are not required to complete the HA or to participate in the blood test and/or other medical examinations.

However, eligible individuals who choose to participate in the wellness program may receive an incentive for completing the HA or participating in the biometric screening. Although you are not required to complete the HA or participate in the biometric screening, only eligible individuals who do so will receive any available incentives.

Additional incentives may be available for individuals who participate in certain health-related activities or achieve certain health outcomes, e.g., weight loss, smoking cessation, lower blood pressure, etc. If you are unable to participate in any of the health-related activities or achieve any of the health outcomes required to earn an incentive, you are entitled to a reasonable accommodation or an alternative standard. You may request a reasonable accommodation or an alternative standard by contacting your wellness program administrator or Human Resources department.

The information from your HA and the results from your biometric screening will be used to provide you with information to help you understand your current health and potential risks, and may also be used to offer you services through the wellness program, such as coaching, iKnowledge courses, etc. You also are encouraged to share your results or concerns with your own doctor.

Protections from Disclosure of Medical Information

We are required by law to maintain the privacy and security of your personally identifiable health information. Although the wellness program and your employer may use aggregate information it collects to design a program based on identified health risks in the workplace, the wellness program will never disclose any of your personal information either publicly or to the employer, except as necessary to respond to a request from you for a reasonable accommodation needed to participate in the wellness program, or as expressly permitted by law. Medical information that personally identifies you that is provided in connection with the wellness program will not be provided to your supervisors or managers and may never be used to make decisions regarding your employment.

Your health information will not be sold, exchanged, transferred, or otherwise disclosed except to the extent permitted by law to carry out specific activities related to the wellness program, and you will not be asked or required to waive the confidentiality of your health information as a condition of participating in the wellness program or receiving an incentive. Anyone who receives your information for purposes of providing you services as part of the wellness program will abide by the same confidentiality requirements. The only individual(s) who will receive your personally identifiable health information is (are) those individuals determined to be necessary such as a “qualified health professional”, a “wellness program administrator” or a “health coach" in order to provide you with services under the wellness program.

In addition, all medical information obtained through the wellness program will be maintained separate from your personnel records, information stored electronically will be encrypted, and no information you provide as part of the wellness program will be used in making any employment decision. Appropriate precautions will be taken to avoid any data breach, and in the event a data breach occurs involving information you provide in connection with the wellness program, we will notify you immediately.

You may not be discriminated against in employment because of the medical information you provide as part of participating in the wellness program, nor may you be subjected to retaliation if you choose not to participate.

If you have questions or concerns regarding this notice, or about protections against discrimination and retaliation, please contact your wellness program administrator or Human Resources department.
