MCSIG provides the following annual notices regarding the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the Women's Health and Cancer Rights Act (WHCRA) so that our members are well informed of the provisions of each Act.
MCSIG has elected to be exempt from the required provisions of HIPAA. However, all of our plans substantially comply with the provisions of HIPAA. This allows MCSIG flexibility in providing cost effective services to participants and reduces the administrative expenses associated with federal regulatory compliance.
The MCSIG medical plans were in compliance with the Women's Health and Cancer Rights Act provisions prior to its enactment and MCSIG continues to provide these benefits.
