[MyOEBB] Reminder/Notice about Evidence of Insurability

[MyOEBB system updates]

Dear Business Managers & Benefits Administrators:

Just a quick reminder that Evidence of Insurability (medical history/underwriting) Forms must be completed personally by the employee applying for coverage. In our sometimes complex world of benefits, it may be tempting to "assist" an employee by completing the form for them. Keep in mind, however, this form asks for HIPAA-protected personal health information (PHI) and no one other than the employee and the affected insurance carrier (The Standard or Unum) should be involved in this part of the process. Also, you could actually be held liable for fraud if the information provided on the form is incorrect or incomplete.

If an employee has accessibility issues, or needs assistance completing this form, they should call the carrier (The Standard or Unum) directly for assistance.

Thank you.
