BENEFIT REMINDER
TML Intergovernmental Employee Benefits Pool (TML IEBP) would
like to encourage you to become familiar with your health care benefit
program. To assist you in this process, here are a few helpful tips:
* All new hires and their dependents covered under the TML IEBP
benefit plan must complete the enrollment paperwork and
submit it to their Employer for approval. The Employer will then
forward the enrollment information to TML IEBP.
* The completed and approved Enrollment Form must be received
at TML IEBP within 31 days of the date of hire. Please contact us
to ensure your eligibility paperwork has been received.

Why Do I Need an Authorization Form?
This page answers commonly asked questions about the federal Privacy Rule, and lets you know when TML IEBP will need an
authorization form. If you have questions that are not answered here, call TML IEBP at (800) 282-5385.
Q: WHAT IS THE PRIVACY RULE?
A: The Privacy Rule is a federal law. It affects how TML IEBP, other health plans, healthcare providers and healthcare
clearinghouses (businesses that process health information) handle your health information.
TML IEBP’s Notice of Privacy Practices explains how the Privacy Rule affects you and your covered dependents. The Notice of
Privacy Practices is included in your enrollment information packet. The Privacy Rule is regulated by the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services’ Office of Civil Rights. The Office of Civil Rights also has information on how the Privacy Rule affects
you available on their website at www.hhs.gov/ocr/hipaa.
Q: WHEN DO I NEED TO COMPLETE AN AUTHORIZATION FORM?
A: Generally, TML IEBP does not need an authorization to share information with other health plans or healthcare providers who
are subject to the Privacy Rule. However, you may want TML IEBP to disclose information to someone not subject to the Privacy
Rule. The following are some common examples of when you would need an authorization:
•
To Disclose Information to a Family Member: If you or a covered dependent is 18 years of age or older, TML IEBP cannot
disclose information on your claims, medical management, etc. to a family member. If you usually have a family member
handle your health claims or if you are used to handling the claims for all of your family, each covered individual who is 18
years of age or older will need to sign an authorization that specifies the family member(s) who may access information
held by TML IEBP.
•
To Disclose Information to a Patient Advocate: If you want someone to follow up on a claim for you or for a family
member (for example, someone in your employer’s benefit department), TML IEBP must have an authorization to release
information to your advocate. If the claim is on a family member and that family member is 18 years of age or older, the
family member must sign his or her own authorization.
•
For TML IEBP to Get Information: Sometimes TML IEBP needs additional information from a healthcare provider or
another person or organization before TML IEBP can make a decision on the benefits that are available to you. The Privacy
Rule allows healthcare providers and other organizations to release information to TML IEBP when TML IEBP needs the
information to make a payment decision. However, in some cases, a healthcare provider may have its own privacy policies
that are stricter than the Privacy Rule and require an authorization from the patient before releasing information to TML
IEBP. If this is the case, TML IEBP will notify you or your covered dependent of the need for an authorization.
Q: WHERE CAN I GET A BLANK AUTHORIZATION FORM?
A: A blank authorization is included in your enrollment information packet. You may make as many copies as you need. Also, the
authorization form is available online through myTML IEBP under Forms & Publications at www.tmliebp.org.
Q: WHAT IF I AM DISABLED AND UNABLE TO SIGN AN AUTHORIZATION?
A: If you become disabled and do not have an authorization on file or your authorization expired, TML IEBP will not release any
information to a family member unless they have legal authority to make healthcare decisions on your behalf. A spouse does not
have automatic authority to make healthcare decisions for you if you become disabled. As part of your disability planning, you
may want to consult an attorney about a Medical Power of Attorney. A Medical Power of Attorney allows you to specify a person
to make healthcare decisions for you in the event that you are disabled and unable to make decisions for yourself. A Medical
Power of Attorney is not valid until a physician certifies that you are not able to make your own healthcare decisions. Additional
information on a Medical Power of Attorney and the Texas statutory form is available through myTML IEBP under Forms &
Publications at www.tmliebp.org.

Subject: TML IEBP Annual Eligibility Audit
The TML Intergovernmental Employee Benefits Pool (TML IEBP) website has been updated with a listing of
all active employees and dependents currently enrolled as of February 1, 2013. Please review this listing
with attention to the following:
Are all benefit eligible employees, dependents (and elected officials, if applicable) listed?
Are any terminated and/or ineligible employees or dependents still on the list?
Are the employees on the list actively at work, accessing continuation of coverage or enrolled as a pre
sixty-five retiree?
Remember, TML IEBP requires 100% of all benefit eligible employees be enrolled in either the medical
plan or the alternate plan, unless one of the four scenarios applies:
If an individual is covered under TriCare/Champus coverage (Tricare individuals cannot enroll in the
alternate plan);
If an individual is covered under their spouse’s plan;
If an individual is hired to work for a political subdivision and is able to access a prior employer’s
retirement benefit plan; or
If an individual is on a parental plan until attained age twenty-six (26).
If you identify any benefit eligible employees/dependents (working at least twenty (20) hours per week
and receiving all benefits including but not limited to vacation, sick leave and pension) that are missing
from the list, please submit an online Employee Benefits Enrollment Record for review. If a terminated
employee is still listed, please submit an online Member Change Form with information regarding their
termination. All corrections submitted regarding benefit eligibility are subject to TML IEBP administrative
guidelines. Please refer to the current Benefit Plan document for details.
TML IEBP has attached a document with instructions for performing this audit online. The audit and any
eligibility changes identified should be completed electronically no later than March 31, 2013.
Please note, effective January 1, 2013, new hires will be required to provide documentation to support
dependent eligibility enrollment criteria within thirty-one (31) days from their hire date. Dependents will
not be enrolled until documentation is provided. If the documentation is not received within the thirtyone (31) days of hire, enrollment will not occur until the next open enrollment or special enrollment
period occurs. Effective September 1, 2013 and plan years thereafter, TML IEBP will require the
appropriate documentation on all active, Continuation of Coverage, pre sixty-five and post sixty five plan
participants and their dependents. A Comprehensive Personal Health Organizer is now available on our
website. Login to www.tmliebp.org and select “My Benefits.” Then click on the link called

WHEREAS, the undersigned Employer sponsors an employee benefit plan;
WHEREAS, the undersigned Employer is responsible for the administration of its employee benefit plan as the Plan
Administrator; and
WHEREAS, the undersigned Employer wants the Pool to assist the Employer in complying with the requirements of

Employer Duties
1.
The undersigned Employer will notify the Pool’s Billing/Eligibility Representative assigned to the Employer via
FAX or Telephone (with a written follow up) within one (1) business day of a qualifying event, as defined by the
Continuation of Coverage statute and its amendments, or a termination for gross misconduct of a Covered
Employee for which the Employer has knowledge. Examples of qualifying events include termination; lump sum
or severance settlement; resignation; death; retirement if the employee does not enroll for retiree coverage
when offered under the Employer’s benefit plan; reduction in hours (including reduction to zero hours), call to
duty for military service and absence from work for an injury or illness after all earned sick leave, vacation leave
and FMLA has been exhausted.
2.
The undersigned Employer will distribute Attachment A, which advises each Covered Individual of their rights
and responsibilities under Continuation of Coverage. The Employer will certify through a letter to the Pool that
the Attachment A was distributed to all Covered Individuals as of the date the Pool commenced Continuation of
Coverage Administration.
3.
The undersigned Employer will distribute Attachment A to all employees who become covered by the
Employer’s benefit plan after the date the Pool commenced Continuation of Coverage administration and
include verification of the distribution with the enrollment card when it is submitted to the Pool.

The undersigned Employer will notify the Pool via FAX or Telephone (with a written follow-up) within one (1)
business day of gaining knowledge that a Covered Individual has legally separated, divorced or is no longer
eligible for coverage e.g. a child is eligible for coverage under a health plan offered by the child's employer or
the Covered employee or dependent is voluntarily dropped from coverage.
5.
The undersigned Employer will notify the Pool at least ten (10) business days prior to any open enrollment
period. The notice to the Pool will include the dates of the open enrollment.

damages), claims or liability of any type, including without limiting the generality of the foregoing all expenses
of litigation, court costs, and attorney’s fees, resulting from the failure of the undersigned Employer to give any
notice required by this Agreement. The undersigned Employer will fund this obligation out of current revenues
in the year the obligation is determined or will levy a tax to fund the obligation if current revenues are
insufficient.
Pool Duties
1.
The Pool staff will monitor changes in Continuation of Coverage and the case law which develops interpreting
Continuation of Coverage.
2.
The Pool will provide election notices within 14 days of the receipt of notices of qualifying events sent by the

upon request.
6.
The Pool will collect the required contributions at the maximum amount allowed by law. Upon notice for the
Employer under II.1., the Pool has fourteen (14) days to send the Continuation of Coverage notice. Once the
election notice is mailed the qualifying beneficiary has sixty (60) days to elect Continuation of Coverage. If the
qualified beneficiary elects Continuation of Coverage the qualified beneficiary has forty-five (45) days from
election to make the first payment. If partial payments are made and the payment deficiency is insignificant,
Pool contacts the qualified beneficiary for full payment. The qualified beneficiary has thirty (30) days from
deficiency notification to make payment. Insignificant payment deficiency is $50 or 10% of amount due.
7.
The Pool will periodically provide the Employer, for their review, with the text of the letter and notices to be
used in administering this Agreement. The Pool maintains final authority over the text of these letters and
notices. The Pool reserves unto itself the right to modify the letters and notices as may be required pursuant to
the Continuation of Coverage statute, any applicable case law and to promote the efficient administration of the
Agreement.

IV.
8.
As allowed by law, the Pool will indemnify, defend, reimburse, and hold harmless the Employer and its
employees from any and all liabilities, claims, demands, or suits arising from or related to the provision of
Continuation of Coverage administrative services unless those liabilities, claims, demands, or suits arise out of
the Employer’s failure to give any notice as required in II, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 of this Agreement. The foregoing
reimbursement obligation shall specifically include any medical claim costs incurred by the Pool because of the
failure of the Employer to give any notice of an employee termination or other qualifying event. This notice is
required by the agreement or by law. The Pool, upon notice by the Employer will immediately investigate,
handle, respond to and defend any such claims, demands or suits at the Employer’s sole expense. If the liability,
claim, demand or suit is based on negligence this contract of indemnity shall apply and the negligence of the
Employer and the Pool will be on a percentage basis as in a pure comparative negligence situation under the
law.

provide under Federal law, and does not have any responsibility for other benefits such as group life insurance

I elect to contribute to my HSA with a pre-tax salary reduction through my employer’s Section 125 Cafeteria Plan, and authorize my employer
to deduct the amounts as indicated from my salary and forward the funds to HSA Bank to deposit in my HSA.
Total Annual Employee Contribution: $_______
Date of first HSA contribution: ____/____/____
Total Annual Employer Contribution (if applicable): $_______

Note: Your Total Annual Employee Election along with contributions from any other sources, including your employer, may not exceed the Annual
Maximum Contribution amount set by the IRS. Contribution limits can be found at: www.hsabank.com or by visiting the IRS site at:

I do not want to contribute to my HSA through a pre-tax salary reduction. I understand that I can make after-tax contributions to my HSA
online - through Internet Banking (https://secure.hsabank.com/ibanking/), or by mailing a check with a contribution form.
By my signature below, I certify that I have enrolled, or plan to enroll, in an HSA-compatible health plan and that I am not covered under any other
plan that would disqualify me from opening or contributing to my HSA. I understand that this form is provided for convenience purposes and that
HSA Bank will not initiate contributions to my HSA, but will allow my employer or their authorized agent to initiate contributions to my account.
