Terms & Conditions
By applying to Keystone Health Plan East or QCC Insurance Company ('the companies') for coverage for myself and the dependents listed in Section C, I understand and agree as follows: 1.a) Effective date of coverage will be the 1st day of each month. b) Coverage does not begin until this application is processed by the companies with an effective date of coverage assigned and payment has been received. c) Credit card/debit card payments are acceptable for the first month's premium payment only. Pre-paid debit card payments are accepted for ongoing payments. d) Receipt of the initial payment does not constitute enrollment under any program. e) This coverage is provided only to residents of the geographical area of Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties, Pennsylvania, served by the companies. The companies reserve the right to investigate and confirm your residence. 2. The companies may void this non-group benefit policy within three (3) years of the effective date if it is found that this non-group benefit policy was obtained or maintained by intentionally supplying a material misrepresentation of fact, except in the case of fraud, for which there is no time limit for voiding the policy. 3. The terms and conditions of the coverage will be controlled by the written agreement with the companies, and the companies may adopt policies, procedures, rules, and interpretations to administer benefits under the policy. It is recognized that the coverage will only apply to admissions that occur and services that are provided on or after the effective date of coverage. 4. HMO Plans Only: a) As a condition of coverage, each applicant must select a participating primary care physician. b) As a condition of coverage, (with the exception of emergency procedures and certain direct access services as defined in the Subscriber Agreement) all services, in order to be covered by KHPE, must be performed either by a participating primary care physician, or by the participating specialist, hospital, pharmacy (if applicable), or other provider as authorized by a referral, or precertification, from a participating primary care physician or KHPE. 5. Catastrophic Plans Only: Are available to eligible applicants (Individual/Family) under the age of 30 or eligible applicants experiencing a documented hardship and have received a certification from the Federal Government. 6. I understand that benefits under this policy will be coordinated with other coverage any covered person may have which is subject to coordination. 7. By enrolling in this benefit program, I acknowledge that in connection with the administration of, or delivery or receipt of benefits, under the non-Group policy, the companies will use and disclose PHI (protected health information) for purposes of Treatment, Payment, and Operations (TPO) as this term is defined by federal law. 8. Any person who knowingly and with intent to defraud any insurance company or other person files an application for insurance or statement of claim containing any materially false information or conceals, for the purpose of misleading, information concerning any fact material thereto commits a fraudulent insurance act, which is a crime and subjects such person to criminal and civil penalties. 9. I can confirm that no one applying for health insurance on this Application is incarcerated (detained or jailed).
