A Note about ERISA
The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) is a federal law that governs many employer-sponsored plans including this one. Your ERISA rights in connection with Alere's Health Advisor Program, Online Wellness Programs, Health Improvement Programs and Condition Management Programs are detailed in the Administrative Information section and that, together with this section and the applicable section about participation constitute the Summary Plan Description for Alere's Health Advisor Program, Online Wellness Programs, Health Improvement Programs and Condition Management Programs.
Alere's Health Assessment Program is not governed by ERISA. For example, ERISA requirements such as providing a Summary Plan Description, filing an annual report (Form 5500 Series), or making a summary annual report available do not apply to the Health Assessment Program.
