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 health 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.
I understand that I may request a copy of this Application and the Authorization to Use and Disclose Protected Health Information that are part of this Application. I agree that a photographic copy shall be as valid as the original. A legible facsimile signature shall have the same force and effectiveness as the original.
