This Customer Notice describes the internet policies of PreferredOne Community Health Plan,
PreferredOne Administrative Services, Inc. and PreferredOne (collectively referred to as “PreferredOne”).
It serves as a standard for all PreferredOne employees in the collection, use, retention and security
of individual customer information.
PreferredOne collects nonpublic personal information about you from the following sources:
- Applications, enrollment forms or other forms, which include information such as your name, address, birthdate and social security number;
- Your transactions with us, our affiliates or others, such as accessing our web site or seeking health care coverage;
- Third parties, such as previous insurance carriers, licensed insurance brokers or your employer.
"Nonpublic personal information" is nonpublic information about you that we may obtain in connection
with providing a service to you. It may include information about your eligibility for health care
benefits, your claims history, your medical history or other information relating to the maintenance
or administration of your health care benefits.
We may provide nonpublic personal information that we collect to affiliated or nonaffiliated

you an opportunity to refuse or “opt out” of such disclosure.
We restrict access to nonpublic personal information about you to those employees who need to know
that information to provide services to you. We maintain physical, electronic and procedural
safeguards to protect your nonpublic personal information.
