Medical and Dental Enrollment. A Medical Insurance Program shall be available in accordance with the provisions of this article for all Interpreters covered by this CONTRACT who complete the required applications for such insurance and who pay their portion of the insurance premium for such coverage in accordance with the provisions of this Article. Applications must be transmitted to the Treasurer of the BOARD during the required enrollment period. Insurance coverage is not automatic. Appropriate information and application forms will be provided to all new Interpreters at the time of employment. If the date of employment is later than the open enrollment period, required insurance forms shall be filed with the office of the Treasurer within five (5) work days of receipt. Forms that are not returned in five (5) work days will result in coverage being delayed until the first day of the month after they are received. This penalty for delay shall be clearly noted to the new employee. Forms not filed within thirty (30) days of commencement of employment coverage will not be available until the next open enrollment period. The Board, through the Medical Insurance Program or any third party administrator, expressly retains the right to require Professional Staff Members to furnish additional information and/or complete additional forms during his or her employment to verify application information and/or confirm eligibility.
