Disclosure and Authorization for Kaiser HMO Participants

DISCLOSURE

As a participant in the Fund who has enrolled in the Wellness Program (HCP), you have access to a Health Reimbursement Account (“HRA”). You may use funds in your HRA to pay or be reimbursed for your out-of-pocket expenses. Details concerning your HRA benefit are described in the program materials you will receive or have received from the Fund.

In order for the Fund to determine the amounts to be paid or reimbursed to you from your HRA for out of pocket expenses incurred in your Kaiser HMO plan, and for other reporting and administrative purposes, Kaiser will need to provide the Trust Fund Office your demographic information (name, social security number, date of birth, and/or other identifying and contact information) and your claims information (collectively “protected health information” or “PHI”).

Specifically, your Kaiser HMO plan (the Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Inc., Northern California Region) will share information about you with the Trust Fund Office for purposes of administering the HRA feature, but only if you authorize your Kaiser HMO plan to share such information.

Please print and fill out the following form:
