Hybrid Entity Election Sample Clauses

Hybrid Entity Election. The document is a wrap plan document that incorporates by reference separate Plan documents, some of which are group health plans and others are non-group health plans. HIPAA allows entities to elect a "hybrid entity" designation as defined under Section 45 CFR 164.103 of HIPAA. To the extent the Employer has elected such designation, this wrap plan document may be treated as offering both a healthcare component and a non-healthcare component. In this case, the healthcare component of this document consists of the group health plans (e.g. the medical, prescription drug, dental, vision, EAP programs). The non-healthcare component of the Plan consists of other (non-health care) Plans (e.g., disability and life insurance programs, and Cafeteria Plan). The Plan and Employer intend to comply with HIPAA with respect to only the healthcare component of the Plan and to ensure adequate separation between the healthcare component and the non-healthcare component (i.e. such healthcare component and non-healthcare component are separate and distinct plans). In this regard and to the extent required by HIPAA, the Plan and the Employer will ensure compliance with the safeguard requirements relating to hybrid entities as set forth in Section 45 CFR 164.105(a) of HIPAA and in the Plan's HIPAA Privacy Policies and Procedures.
