Federal regulations require Pace Industries to provide benefits-eligible employees with the following notices:
Private Health Information
A portion of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) addresses the protection of confidential health information. It applies to all health benefit plans. In short, the idea is to make sure that confidential health information that identifies (or could be used to identify) you is kept completely confidential. This individually identifiable health information is known as “protected health information” (PHI), and it will not be used or disclosed without your written authorization, except as described in the Plans HIPAA Privacy Notice or as otherwise permitted by federal and state health information privacy laws. A copy of the Plan’s Notice of Privacy Practices that describes the Plan’s policies, practices and your rights with respect to your PHI under HIPAA is available from your medical plan provider. For more information regarding this Notice, please contact Pace Industries Human Resources or the medical plan directly.
Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act
Pace Industries’ medical plans, as required by the Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998, provides benefits for mastectomy-related services. These services include:
- All stages of reconstruction of the breast on which the mastectomy was performed
- Surgery and reconstruction of the other breast to produce a symmetrical appearance
- Prostheses and treatment of physical complications resulting from mastectomy (including lymphedema)
This coverage will be provided in consultation with the attending physician and the patient, and will be subject to the same annual deductibles and coinsurance provisions that apply to the mastectomy. For more information, contact your medical plan provider.
Special Enrollment Rights
If you are declining enrollment for yourself or your dependents (including your spouse) because of other health insurance coverage, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents in a Pace Industries health plan if you or your dependents lose eligibility for that other coverage (or if the employer stops contributing towards you or your dependents’ other coverage.) However, you must request enrollment within 30 days after you or your dependent’s other coverage ends (or after the employer stops contributing toward the other coverage.)
In addition, if you have a new dependent as a result of marriage, birth, adoption, or placement for adoption, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents, provided that your request enrollment within 30 days after the marriage, birth, adoptions, or placement for adoption. For more information, contact Pace Industries Human Resources.
Notice of Prescription Drug Creditable Coverage
Pace Industries provides a “Notice of Prescription Drug Creditable Coverage” to all Medicare-eligible participants on an annual basis. This notice states that under the Pace Industries medical plan, you have prescription drug coverage that is, on average, as generous as the standard Medicare prescription Drug Coverage. If you or an enrolled dependent becomes eligible for Medicare, you will receive this notice for your records. A copy is available upon request from Pace Industries Human Resources.
Individual Coverage Mandate
Effective January 1, 2014, Federal law requires that you have Health Care coverage or you may be subject to an income tax penalty. You can enroll in Pace Industries’ health plan, or you may want to consider visiting www.healthcare.gov for information on health plans available through the Healthcare Marketplace in your area.
