Mandated Mailing Re: Women's Health and Cancer Rights Act & Privacy Practices

Dec 21, 2010

Federally Mandated Gap Mailing

The 2010 Federally Mandated Gap Mailing, planned for mid to late December 2010, will be sent either by the USPS or by email to those subscribers who have given their consent.

ASO group subscribers will receive the Women's Health and Cancer Rights Act (WHCRA) communication postcard. ASO groups are responsible for communicating the Notice of Privacy Policy (NOPP) to their employees.

Fully insured group subscribers will receive the combined WHCRA and NOPP (HIPAA and GLBA) communication.

These communications go to all local group subscribers except the following:

Those who received the Healthy Solutions member newsletter

Subscriber in groups on the Do Not Contact list

This communication will also go to Anthem National Accounts subscribers who have been identified and didn't receive an earlier mailing that contained NCQA-required information.
