40.51 (2) Except as provided in subs. (10), (10m), (11) and (16), any eligible employe may become covered by group health insurance by electing coverage within 30 days of being hired, to be effective as of the first day of the month which begins on or after the date the application is received by the employer, or by electing coverage prior to becoming eligible for employer contribution towards the premium cost as provided in s. 40.05 (4) (a) to be effective upon becoming eligible for employer contributions. An eligible employe who is not insured, but who is eligible for an employer contribution under s. 40.05 (4) (ag) 1., may elect coverage prior to becoming eligible for an employer contribution under s. 40.05 (4) (ag) 2., with the coverage to be effective upon becoming eligible for the increase in the employer contribution. Any employe who does not so elect at one of these times, or who subsequently cancels the insurance, shall not thereafter become insured unless the employe furnishes evidence of insurability satisfactory to the insurer, at the employe's own expense or obtains coverage subject to contractual waiting periods. The method to be used shall be specified in the health insurance contract.
