An employee who has waived hospital coverage must comply with the enrollment requirements of the carrier(s) and/or Health Maintenance Organizations (HMO) who are presently providing those services to the Garnet A. Wilson Public Library. An employee who drops hospitalization coverage may find it necessary to wait until the next enrollment period before being able to re-establish participation in the hospitalization plan. Each employee should be cognizant of this fact and admonished not to place him/herself in circumstances that would leave him/her without hospitalization coverage.
