Each of the benefits plans includes the Terms and Conditions as part of the contract. The provisions are typically included on the paper enrollment form for the plan. By signing the paper enrollment form or by submitting your elections through the MyUW portal, you are agreeing to the Terms and Conditions of the plans in which you enroll.

The Terms and Conditions are provisions included in the insurance policy that place limitations on the insurer’s promise to pay or perform. These may include rules of conduct, duties and obligations for the member. If the policy conditions are not met, the insurer can deny the claim.

Common conditions in a policy may include the statement that all information is correct to the best of the applicant’s knowledge, the agreement to have premiums deducted from payroll and to cooperate during a plan’s claims investigation.
