Confidentiality of your health information The plan follows the UMP Notice of Privacy Practices, available online on the HCA website at hca.wa.gov/ump-privacy or by contacting UMP Customer Service. The plan will release member health information only as described in that notice or as required or permitted by law or court order. How to designate an authorized representative TIP: Because of privacy laws, the plan usually cannot share information on appeals or complaints with family or other persons unless the member is a minor, or the plan has received written authorization to release personal health information to the other person. In most cases, the plan must have written authorization to communicate with anyone but the member. However, a parent or legal guardian may act as a representative for a member under age 13 without written authorization, except for issues involving contraceptive use. For members ages 13 to 17, a parent or legal guardian may usually act as a representative, except for certain specially protected types of information, for which the plan must receive written authorization as described below. You may choose to authorize a representative to: • Communicate with the plan on your behalf regarding an appeal in process. • Share your protected health information. 136 2024 UMP Plus–UW Medicine ACN (PEBB) Certificate of Coverage
