Annual Insurance Enrollment Transfer Period
September 15 - October 15, 2010
- What is changing?
You can expect these changes:
- You will have the choice of two new PPO (preferred provider organization) health insurance options—the Partnership PPO and Standard PPO
- The current PPO, HMO and POS options are no longer available.
- Both new health insurance options have deductibles, co-pays and co-insurance
- You will save money if you take an active role in your health
- Premium levels (tiers) have expanded from two to four
- For the first time in many years, you will have to choose a health insurance option during the Annual Enrollment Transfer/Open Enrollment Period
- What is staying the same—or is not going to change?
These plan design features are remaining the same:
- The same types of services, treatments and products covered under your current health insurance will be covered under both of the new options
- You will continue to have a choice of health insurance options and carriers
- Whichever option and carrier you choose, you will still have a large network of doctors and hospitals
- You can continue to cover your spouse and eligible children
- How am I going to find out about all of the details about the new program?
We are committed to providing you with comprehensive communication about the new program:
- Enrollment Kit—Current members will receive a comprehensive Enrollment Kit in early September. The Kit will explain your health insurance options and provide instructions on completing your annual enrollment transfer for 2011. The packet will contain a DVD with information about the Partnership PPO and Standard PPO options and how to complete enrollment
