8 Enrollment Opportunities The PHIP milestones, as defined in OAR , mark the only enrollment opportunities available. Eligible retirees and their spouses or dependents that do not choose to enroll in a PHIP health plan during one of these enrollment periods will lose their opportunity to enroll in PHIP. If you have any questions about your enrollment opportunities, or if you would like a copy of the complete OAR enrollment rules, please call PHIP at or visit New retiree New retirees can enroll up to 90 days after the effective date of their retirement. Coverage will be effective on your retirement date (if you apply before your retirement date or the date of your PERS disability approval letter) or on the first day of the month after your application is received (if you apply within 90 days of your retirement date or the date of your PERS disability approval letter). You must verify your prior employer s coverage end date to ensure that your PHIP plan does not overlap other employer-sponsored coverage. Working past Medicare eligibility If you are not drawing a Social Security benefit check and are still working and covered by an active employer-sponsored plan when you turn 65, you will need to contact the Social Security Administration to sign up for Medicare. Medicare Part A is free for most people; Medicare Part B has a premium and therefore you may want to defer enrollment into Medicare Part B while under active employer-sponsored group health coverage. When your active employer-sponsored group coverage ends, you are allotted a Special Enrollment Period (SEP) by Medicare to enroll in your Medicare Part B. Three months before your retirement date or loss of active employer-sponsored group coverage, contact the Social Security Administration to sign up for Medicare Part B. Your Medicare Part B effective date should be the first of the month after your active employer-sponsored group coverage ends. The Medicare Initial Enrollment Period (IEP) is anytime during the active group coverage or anytime during the eight months after the active coverage ends. If you do not have Part B in place when you lose your employer coverage, you cannot enroll in a PHIP plan. NOTE: If your IEP is concurrent with your SEP, the IEP enrollment timelines prevail. 8 Enrollment Opportunities

9 Medicare eligibility PERS retirees can enroll up to 90 days after the date of their initial Medicare eligibility if they are enrolled in both Medicare Parts A and B. Enrollment in a PHIP medical plan includes enrollment in the PHIP Medicare Part D prescription plan. PHIP coverage will take effect on the date your Medicare coverage becomes effective if you enroll before the date of your Medicare eligibility. PHIP coverage will take effect on the first day of the month after your application is received if you apply after the date of your Medicare eligibility. If you are currently enrolled in a PHIP non-medicare plan, you will be required to fill out an Enrollment Request Form 30 days before becoming Medicare-eligible. Failure to submit a new Enrollment Request Form for Medicare coverage will result in cancellation of your non-medicare health plan coverage under PHIP, upon Medicare eligibility with the possibility of no future opportunities to enroll. Medicare disability Your eligibility to enroll in Medicare Part A and Part B, due to Social Security Disability, becomes effective the first day of the 25th month after your Social Security Disability benefits began. You are required to retain both Medicare Parts A and B to be enrolled in a PHIP Medicare plan. The 90-day Medicare eligibility enrollment opportunity also applies in these circumstances. If you miss this opportunity, becoming Medicare-eligible at age 65 will not be a new opportunity to enroll in a PHIP health plan unless you have had 24 months of continuous employer-sponsored coverage immediately preceding enrollment in PHIP. If you are currently enrolled in a PHIP non-medicare plan, you must fill out an Enrollment Request Form 30 days before becoming Medicare-eligible. Failure to submit a new Enrollment Request Form for the Medicare coverage will result in cancellation of your non-medicare health plan coverage under PHIP, upon Medicare eligibility, with the possibility of no future opportunities to enroll. Enrollment Opportunities 9

10 Continuous employersponsored coverage PERS retirees can enroll at any time if they have been covered under another employer-sponsored group health plan for 24 consecutive months immediately preceding enrollment in PHIP and within 30 days of losing prior employer-sponsored group coverage. Employer-sponsored group coverage can be: y Coverage you had as an active or retired employee that is terminating y Coverage you had under an eligible spouse s active employment or as a retired employee that is terminating y Coverage continued through COBRA following termination of employment COBRA coverage is secondary to Medicare, except when the Medicare beneficiary has ESRD COBRA coverage is primary to Medicare during the 30-month ESRD coordination period For the purposes of PHIP, healthcare coverage under worker s compensation, Medicare or any other government entitlement program (including foreign healthcare) does not qualify as employer-sponsored group health coverage. To ensure you are selecting the correct PHIP effective date, verify your current health plan coverage end date with your employer. To avoid a gap in coverage, select the first of the month after your employer-sponsored group coverage ends as the PHIP effective date. To enroll, submit your PHIP Enrollment Request Form 30 days prior to your employer-sponsored group coverage ending to prevent a gap in coverage. PHIP allows up to 30 days to enroll after loss of employer-sponsored group coverage ends, however if the Enrollment Request Form is received after your group coverage ends, your PHIP effective date will be the first of the month after receipt of your Enrollment Request Form. Any application received after 30 days of loss of employer group coverage is considered outside of the enrollment opportunity and will be ineligible. Changes to the original PHIP effective date will not be allowed once the requested effective date has passed. Dependent enrollment Dependents can enroll during any of the enrollment periods available to retirees, as described on pages If a spouse or dependent has an enrollment opportunity after the retiree is enrolled, he or she will be eligible to enroll under the retiree s account. A Medicare eligible spouse or dependent can enroll in a PHIP Medicare health plan prior to the retiree, provided the spouse or dependent is enrolled in Medicare Parts A and B and contingent on the PERS retiree enrolling in PHIP upon his or her final enrollment opportunity. If the PERS retiree does not enroll in PHIP upon his or her final enrollment opportunity, the spouse or dependents will no longer be eligible for PHIP coverage and will be disenrolled. New dependents must be enrolled within 30 days of the family status change (e.g., birth, marriage). If the spouse has a different last name than the retiree, a copy of the marriage certificate will be required. If the retiree has Medicare coverage and the dependent has non-medicare coverage, the dependent s coverage will be with the same health plan as the retiree. Notice: Effective date of coverage will be the first of the month after receipt of the PHIP Enrollment Request Form. 10 Enrollment Opportunities

11 Surviving spouses If the surviving spouse or dependent is not enrolled at the time of the PERS retiree s death, the spouse or dependent may enroll within 90 days from the date of death or by meeting other enrollment opportunities (see pages 8 11). However, in the event of remarriage, coverage cannot be extended to the new spouse. Dental plan enrollment The PHIP dental plan is only available if you are enrolled in a PHIP medical plan. If anyone in your family chooses dental coverage, everyone who is enrolled in a PHIP medical plan also must be enrolled in a PHIP dental plan. Dependents must enroll in the same dental plan as the retiree. You can enroll in either dental plan regardless of your medical plan selection. For Kaiser Permanente dental, you must reside in the Kaiser Permanente dental plan service area. Enrollment in a PHIP dental plan must be made under the same enrollment conditions as the PHIP medical plan. There may be a 12-month waiting period for some services if you have not had 12 months of continuous employer-sponsored dental coverage immediately preceding enrollment into a PHIP dental plan. Please refer to pages for a description of dental services. Enrollment Opportunities 11

13 How to Enroll During peak enrollment times, delays may occur Please allow time for PHIP to process your application and notify your health carrier. In the event you need immediate access to your health plan information, please contact PHIP at the customer service number listed on page 39. Your coverage will start on the date described in the Enrollment Opportunities section on pages To enroll in any PHIP health plan, you must: y Meet one of the PHIP enrollment opportunities described on pages y Complete the Enrollment Request Form in its entirety. Include spouse or dependent information only if they are enrolling in PHIP. Missing information can delay your enrollment. Indicate your reason for applying for PHIP coverage and select a medical and dental plan (dental plan optional). If you are enrolled in a PHIP non-medicare plan, you must submit a new Enrollment Request Form upon Medicare eligibility. y All Medicare-eligible individuals must complete the Medicare card section. Submit a photocopy of either the Medicare card or a Letter of Entitlement (Letters of Eligibility are not accepted) showing Medicare effective dates for Parts A and B for each Medicare-eligible individual applying. y Sign and date the Enrollment Request Form. Both the retiree and spouse must sign if both are enrolling. Enrollments must be signed and received prior to the month in which coverage is to begin. y Additional documentation may be required based on your enrollment opportunity. This may include a dependent s birth certificate, adoption paperwork, PERS disability retirement approval letter, Affidavit of Dependent Domestic Partnership, or marriage license. Submit documentation with your Enrollment Request Form. However, do not delay submitting your Enrollment Request Form because you do not have the necessary documents. You will have 30 days from the requested effective date to submit any additional paperwork. If necessary documentation is not received within 30 days from requested effective date, you may be required to submit a new Enrollment Request Form. y Submit all documents to the PHIP office. The address is listed on page 39. Retain a copy of the Enrollment Request Form for your records. You can be enrolled in only one Medicare Advantage and Medicare Part D prescription drug plan at a time. Terminating your Medicare Part D prescription coverage or enrolling in another Medicare Advantage or Medicare Part D prescription plan will automatically terminate all PHIP coverage. Once termination has occurred, you may not re-enroll in PHIP, unless you experience a new enrollment opportunity. When enrolling in a PHIP Medicare plan, you will automatically be enrolled in a Medicare Part D prescription plan. How to Enroll 13

14 After Enrollment Plan change PHIP offers an annual plan change period from October 1 to November 15. During the plan change period, you can change your medical and/or dental plan to another plan available within your residing area. This annual plan change period is not an opportunity to add dental coverage or dependents. Plan changes made during this period become effective January 1. If you are enrolled and do not want to change plans, no paperwork is required. If you want to make a change, you must fill out a Disenrollment Form for the plan you are ending as well as an Enrollment Request Form for the new plan coverage. Submit both forms to PHIP before the November 15 deadline. Forms can be found at pershealth.com or by calling PHIP customer service. If you do not submit a change during this period, you will be unable to change your enrollment midyear, unless you experience a family status change or new enrollment opportunity. Snow bird For members who are enrolled in any PHIP Medicare Advantage plan, and who reside inside Oregon part of the year and outside Oregon part of the year, PHIP offers the Snow Bird option. The Snow Bird option allows members to change their health plan to Moda Health Medicare Supplement Plan while living outside their Medicare Advantage plan s service area. Members must plan on living outside the service area for more than 60 days for this option to apply. Before leaving the service area, members should contact PHIP to request an Enrollment Request Form and Disenrollment Form to change to the Moda Health Medicare Supplement Plan for the time spent living outside the Medicare Advantage service area. Upon returning to Oregon, members will be eligible to change back to their prior Medicare Advantage plan. The Snow Bird option also applies to non-medicare members who are enrolled in Kaiser Permanente, PacificSource, or Providence Health Plans, and who reside inside Oregon part of the year and outside Oregon part of the year. You have the option to change to the Moda non-medicare plan in the same Value tier. You must fill out a Disenrollment Form for the plan you are ending and an Enrollment Request Form for the new coverage when leaving the area and when returning. Please contact PHIP for more information about this option. Change of address Address changes must be submitted in writing by the member or authorized party. Complete, sign, date and submit a Change of Address Form to PHIP. Address changes may be sent via mail or fax. ( requests will not be accepted.) PHIP will notify the appropriate health plan, however they will not update your address with the PERS pension office. To update your address with the PERS pension office, contact PERS directly at the address listed on page 39. Failure to notify PHIP within 30 days of moving outside a service area can result in involuntary termination of coverage. 14 After Enrollment

15 You must maintain a primary residence within the United States to be eligible for PHIP. If you reside in another country, you are not eligible to retain PHIP coverage. Premium payments Making monthly premium payments Premium payment options: y Deduction from your monthly PERS pension check. This option ensures timely premium payment and prevents a lapse in coverage. If you choose pension deduction, the PERS pension holder s signature is required any time an Enrollment Request Form is submitted. y Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) from your bank account. This also ensures timely payment and prevents a lapse in coverage. Only one payment option is allowed per PHIP account. Premium rates are subject to change mid-year due to Medicare requirements such as Medicare Part D Late Enrollment Penalty or Low Income Subsidy (Extra Help) notifications. PHIP is required to adjust premiums to account for these changes. For questions regarding premium changes due to Medicare programs, contact Medicare directly. Late payments Premium payments are due on or before the first of each month, with no grace period. If payment is not received by the first day of the month, the account is considered delinquent. If you do not pay your premium upon notification, your health plan coverage will be canceled. If your coverage is terminated because of a delinquent payment, you may be responsible for all claims incurred on or after that termination date, except to the extent that those claims are covered under Original Medicare. OAR (3) If payment is by check or money order, the check or money order must be physically received by the Third Party Administrator on or before the due date. (4) Failure to make the payment by the due date shall result in termination of a person s PERS-sponsored health insurance coverage. Disenrollment Voluntary disenrollment PHIP and Medicare guidelines require a written request for voluntary disenrollment from PHIP health insurance coverage. Disenrollment will occur the first of the month following receipt of your completed PHIP Disenrollment Form unless a later date is requested. Both the member and spouse must sign the written request for termination. If one member of your family wishes to terminate their dental coverage, the whole family loses dental coverage. Please submit a PHIP Disenrollment Form, which you can find on the PHIP website or request through customer service. The PHIP address and fax number are listed on page 39. Involuntary termination In some instances, PHIP may be required to terminate your coverage. Examples of when you may lose your coverage are: y Loss of Medicare Parts A and/or B y Enrolling in another non-phip Medicare Advantage or Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Plan After Enrollment 15

16 y Loss of program eligibility due to failure to adhere to premium payment guidelines y Loss of retirement status (returning to work) If your PHIP coverage is terminated by the plan, you may not re-enroll in PHIP unless you experience a new enrollment opportunity, provided you meet the eligibility requirements as described on pages You will be required to bring your account current in the event you have any outstanding balance. Death notification y As a PERS retiree: Upon the death of your spouse, your PHIP coverage will continue as usual. To terminate your spouse s coverage, mail a photocopy of the death certificate to PHIP and the PERS Pension office. y As a surviving spouse or dependent of a PERS retiree: Your PHIP coverage will continue automatically. You must mail a copy of the retiree s death certificate to PHIP and the PERS Pension office for your account to remain active. If you would like to terminate your coverage, a written request is required. If the surviving spouse is not enrolled at the time of the PERS retiree s death, the spouse may enroll within 90 days of the death or by meeting other enrollment opportunities. Once disenrollment or termination occurs, you cannot re-enroll in PHIP unless you experience a new enrollment opportunity. PHIP appeals Pursuant to Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR) , if you receive a letter denying PHIP eligibility (program or subsidy) or enrollment and you disagree with that determination, you may request a review by writing to the PERS Director within 60 days after the date of the letter. Your request must include the following information: 1. A description of the determination you want reviewed. 2. A short statement describing how and why you think the determination is wrong. 3. A statement of facts that you believe show the determination is wrong. 4. A list of any statutes, rules, or court decisions that you believe support your position. 5. A statement of the action you seek. 6. A request for review.

Some limitations may apply month waiting period for basic and major services following enrollment unless member has had continuous employer-sponsored dental coverage for the previous 12 months. This is a summary of benefits only, for general comparison. Any errors or omissions are purely unintentional. Should any discrepancies be found between this guide and the plan document, the information in the plan document shall prevail. Premium rates are subject to change mid-year due to Medicare requirements such as Medicare Part D Late Enrollment Penalty or Low Income Subsidy (Extra Help) notifications. PHIP is required to adjust premiums to account for these changes. For questions regarding premium changes due to Medicare programs, contact Medicare directly. Dental Benefit Comparison 37

38 Required Notices Women s Health and Cancer Rights Act Beginning in 1999, federal law requires group health plans to provide coverage for the following services to an individual receiving plan benefits in connection with a mastectomy: y Reconstruction on the breast on which the mastectomy has been performed; y Surgery and reconstruction of the other breast to produce a symmetrical appearance; and y Prostheses and coverage for physical complications for all stages of a mastectomy, including lymphedemas (swelling associated with the removal of lymph nodes). The health plan must determine the manner of coverage in consultation with the attending physician and patient. Coverage for breast reconstruction and related services will be subject to deductibles, coinsurance amounts and copayments that are consistent with those that apply to other benefits under the plan. Power of Attorney/Authorization to Disclose Information PHIP requires that a Power of Attorney or Authorization to Disclose Information be on file with the program office for anyone acting on a member s behalf. PHIP is unable to release information to anyone who is not authorized by the PHIP member. To disclose or change information after the death of a member, please provide one of the following: executor, letter of probate or trustee documentation, or Last Will and Testament. COBRA continuation of coverage In accordance with federal and state of Oregon guidelines, PHIP provides opportunities for the continuation of coverage through COBRA following specific qualifying events. If you experience one of the qualifying events listed below, please contact PHIP for additional information. A qualifying event will occur if eligibility for coverage is lost because of: y Cancellation of PERS retirement status y The divorce or legal separation of a retiree s covered spouse; PHIP must be notified within 60 days from the signed Dissolution of Marriage document y A spouse or dependent no longer meeting eligibility requirements (e.g., a child reaches the maximum age limit, or a spouse loses coverage because the retiree does not enroll in PHIP upon the last enrollment opportunity) Once COBRA has been secured, timely payment of premiums is essential. In accordance with federal and state of Oregon guidelines, PHIP provides opportunities for the continuation of coverage through COBRA following specific qualifying events. Timely COBRA premium payments The initial premium must be paid within 45 days of the date COBRA is elected. Thereafter, premiums are due the first day of each month for that month s coverage. If payment is not postmarked or received on or before the 45th day (for the initial premium) or the 30th day following the monthly due date, coverage will be terminated and cannot be reinstated. 38 Required Notices
