plans that cover the Medicare Part B deductible cannot
be available to those who become newly eligible for

become newly eligible for Medicare on or after January
1, 2020 may not be issued a policy for Plans C, F, or

Important Information

Federal law requires that a notice be given to any Applicant experiencing adverse action. The notice states that a
consumer report was reviewed as part of the enrollment process.
Notice of Insurance Information Practices
To issue an insurance plan, National General Accident & Health needs to obtain information about the people
proposed for insurance. Some of this information will come from the application, and some will come from other
sources.
All information collected by National General Accident & Health may, in certain circumstances, be disclosed to
third parties without the proposed insured’s specific authorization. The proposed insured has the right to access
and correct collected information that may relate to a claim or civil criminal proceeding. The notice is part of the
application/enrollment form for insurance.
HIPAA Privacy
As a business associate of National General Accident & Health, and as a representative working on behalf of each
applicant, it is your responsibility to protect the confidential information you collect. Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act (HIPAA) privacy and security regulations require that you, as a business associate, have physical,
administrative, and technical safeguards in place to protect this information.
Please refer to the National Health Insurance Company privacy notice found at www.natgenhealth.com to
understand how protected health information is handled at National General and how insureds can exercise their
individual rights under HIPAA. Please contact the National General Privacy Office immediately if you are aware of
any breach of protected health information.
Important Information for You and Your Customer
National General relies on your customer’s answers to the application questions, and these answers have a
significant impact on their eligibility for a plan. Information that is not completely and accurately disclosed may
result in plan rescission. If your customer provided you with any health history information that would require a
response of “yes” to a health question, you are required to disclose that information to us. The applicant must
disclose his or her full and complete medical information; obtaining all the required authorizations at the time
of application submissions is critical. Customers should contact National General if they think of any additional
information that should have been disclosed.
