Subject: Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program: Opportunity for Enrollees of OmniCare Health Plan, Enrollment KA, to Change Enrollment

 

Omnicare Health Plan, Enrollment Code KA, will no longer participate in the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program effective September 30, 2004.

OmniCare Health Plan enrollees in Code KA must change to another participating plan in order to continue to receive benefits under the FEHB Program. Enrollees who do not change plans will have no benefits for the remainder of the 2004 benefit year. The opportunity to change enrollment will begin immediately and continue through September 30, 2004. The effective date of all enrollment changes will be the beginning pay period in which the enrollee makes the change, but no later than September 29, 2004. Agencies may accept belated enrollment changes; however, the effective date of all enrollments accepted after September 30, 2004, must be effective no later than the last pay period in September. Effective dates for agencies that have pay periods other than bi-weekly pay periods must be no later than October 1, 2004. The Plan has already sent a letter to enrollees advising them of this opportunity to change enrollment.

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
