NOTICE OF PRIVACY PRACTICES
The attached document contains important information regarding the privacy of Plan participant health information. Under government regulations that took effect in April 2003, the group health plans listed in Appendix A hereto (collectively known as the “Plan” for purposes of the attached document) will implement new privacy policies and procedures and participants in the Plan will have new privacy rights, which are discussed in detail in the attached document, the “Notice of Privacy Practices” (the “Notice”). The Notice details how some Plan participant health information may be used and disclosed by the Plan and how a participant may obtain access to his/her health information. The attached Notice should be reviewed and saved for future reference.
Participants should separately receive a Notice of Privacy Practices from insurance companies or HMOs which provide fully-insured benefits under the Plan. Neither PPG nor the Plan has any control over or responsibility for the entities who provide their Notice of Privacy Practices to participants, or their compliance with their privacy practices. Any questions concerning their privacy policies or procedures should be directed to them as explained in their Notice of Privacy Practices.
