2TEFRA stands for the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982. Under TEFRA, when an employer has 20 or more full-time and/or part-time employees
on its payroll for 20 weeks in a calendar year, the group becomes the primary payer and Medicare becomes the secondary payer for the remainder of the calendar
year and the following calendar year for claims of working-aged employees and their spouses age 65+ even if they go below the 20/20 threshold. The 20 weeks in a
calendar year do not have to be consecutive to reach the 20/20 threshold.

Group Declaration
For eligible retirees, evidence of past employment and continuing financial arrangements is required.
If the enrollment forms submitted meet LAHC’s credentialing and eligibility requirements, and are in compliance with Louisiana State law, and we issue coverage,
the group agrees to the following:
To remit to LAHC the charges payable in accordance with the terms of the contract between LAHC and the Group, and if employee contributions are required, to
make necessary payroll deductions; group must also submit payment promptly, not to be received after the expiration of the grace period. (Failure to pay promptly
will result in the termination of the group’s coverage.) The group agrees to permit LAHC to audit and/or make copies of any records or information that relate(s) to
the administration of this coverage. (declaration continued on page 4)

Section 15:
Group Declaration (continued from page 3)
The group further agrees: to ensure compliance with HIPAA (45 CFR Parts 160-164) as it relates to health plans, to ensure compliance with
TEFRA/DEFRA/COBRA/OBRA legislation as it relates to any active employee or dependent of an active employee who elects the group’s benefits as primary, to
ensure prompt conversion to Medicare-related/Carveout coverage for eligible Medicare retirees.
The group agrees to promptly submit an employee’s enrollment form for eligible members only and promptly remove members who are no longer eligible. Failure
to report removals promptly could result in the group being responsible for premiums and claims paid subsequent to the employee’s removal date. The group must
also ensure all employees enroll in accordance with their marital/domestic partner status.
If an acceptable enrollment form is received prior to or within 30 days after the eligibility date, coverage will begin on the date of eligibility; otherwise, coverage will
begin on open enrollment or the next group renewal date.
Benefits purchased and established eligibility selected may be changed at renewal only. It is understood that this agreement may be terminated by the group giving
prior written notice as required by the group contract. In the event of termination by the group, the group will be required to pay premiums to a date not less than 60
days subsequent to the written notification by the group to LAHC. LAHC may terminate this agreement for any of the reasons set forth in the group contract. This
group application is a part of the agreement between LAHC and the group for health insurance benefits.
Louisiana Insurance law requires that your employees who receive health coverage from an HMO or Direct POS health plan, be given 30 days prior notice when an
increase in the group insurance premium rates results in an increase in their premium contributions. Employers offering other types of health coverage are also
encouraged to provide this information to their employees.
