Aetna Introduces New Applications for
Small Group Business in Pennsylvania
**Now, one form for all products**
(Mandatory with May 1, 2003 effective dates and forward)
With the introduction of a new Employer Application and new Employee Enrollment/Change form, Aetna Small
Group is once again making it easier for our brokers and clients in Pennsylvania to conduct business with us.
These new forms now offer small business employers and their employees the convenience of having only one
application to fill out for all Aetna Small Group products. Employers can now select medical, dental, life, and
disability coverage with Aetna Small Group by simply checking the desired plans off on the new application.
These new forms, which are attached below for your convenience, are available for use now. We are requiring
that the new Employer Application and Employee Enrollment/Change Form be used with groups that have
effective dates of May 1, 2003 and forward. Any new cases that are submitted with the old forms for a
May 1, 2003 effective date and thereafter will be returned to the broker.
Should you have any questions, or if you would like additional printed copies of these forms, please contact
your Aetna Sales Manager.
As always, thank you for your continued support and dedication.

Signature Section
The Applicant agrees that at no time shall any employee be permitted or required to contribute for non-contributory coverage; or, unless the
change is approved in writing by an authorized representative of Aetna, to make contributions for contributory coverage at a rate higher than
the initial contribution rate applicable for the employee’s then current coverage. It is agreed that no coverage shall become effective as to any
person who is not then a bona fide, full-time employee, regularly performing the duties of his or her occupation, unless otherwise specifically
provided in the plan documents (which consist of the Group Policy and/or Group Agreement). All statements herein shall be deemed
representations and not warranties.
The Applicant acknowledges that it has selected this plan based upon written information provided by Aetna and that no broker, agent or
consultant is authorized to modify the terms of the offer or to agree to changes. All material terms of plan coverage are set forth in the plan
documents. Applicant agrees to make payroll and other records directly related to employee’s coverage under the Group Agreement or Group
Policy available to Aetna for inspection, at Aetna’s expense, at Applicant’s office, during regular business hours, upon reasonable advance
request. This provision shall survive termination of the Group Agreement or Group Policy.
Applicant has selected, in accordance with applicable state law, the plan to be offered to Applicant’s employees and Applicant has solely
determined any/all health plan options for the Applicant’s employees and the contribution amounts.
In accordance with current IRS regulations and the 1986 Tax Reform Act, a life insurance schedule may be deemed discriminatory and
result in imputed income tax to certain employees and possibly an excise tax to employers. Employers should consult with legal counsel
prior to electing a schedule. Aetna disclaims any responsibility if the employer elects such a schedule and it is later deemed discriminatory.
The plan documents will determine the contractual provisions, including procedures, exclusions and limitations relating to the plan and will
govern in the event they conflict with any benefits comparison, summary or other description of the plan.
Participating physicians, hospitals and other health care providers are independent contractors and are neither agents nor employees of Aetna.
Applicant agrees to deliver, or otherwise make available to enrollees, all Aetna paper or online member documents and other plan-related
materials upon request by Aetna.
Any person who knowingly and with intent to defraud any insurance company or other person files an application for insurance or statement
of claim containing any materially false information or conceals for the purpose of misleading, information concerning any fact material
thereto commits a fraudulent insurance act, which is a crime and subjects such person to criminal and civil penalties.
All data that may have a bearing on coverage or premiums will be open for Aetna to inspect while the Group Agreement or Group Policy is
in force.
The availability of a plan or program may vary by geographic service area. Some benefits are subject to limitations or maximums.
Aetna does not provide health or dental care services and, therefore, cannot guarantee any results or outcome.
I hereby apply for the coverage(s) indicated above. I certify that all information provided in this application is accurate and complete to
the best of my knowledge and belief. I understand that this application will form a part of the Group Agreement or Group Policy issued by
Aetna (a sample of which may be available on request), and by my signature below I agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of that
Group Agreement or Group Policy. I understand that Aetna may choose not to accept this application at its sole discretion.
