Novation Agreement
What this document covers
A Novation Agreement is a legal document that facilitates the transfer of obligations and rights from one party to another. In this case, the agreement serves to transfer insurance contracts from Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Missouri to Healthy Alliance Life Insurance Company, thereby ensuring that the new party assumes all responsibilities and benefits associated with the contracts. Unlike a simple assignment, which merely transfers benefits, this agreement fully replaces one party with another, making it crucial for situations involving contractual obligations in the insurance sector.
