See the “Eligibility and enrollment” section for more information. This plan is designed to keep you and your enrolled dependents healthy and provide benefits in case of injury or illness. Review this certificate of coverage (COC) carefully so you may get the most from your health care benefits. Accumulators Insurance accumulators may transfer when a subscriber changes their enrollment from one UMP plan to another UMP plan mid-year during a special open enrollment (SOE). When a subscriber enrolled in a PEBB Program UMP plan changes their own enrollment to another PEBB Program UMP plan (meaning the subscriber continues to be the subscriber on the new PEBB Program UMP Plan) during an SOE, the amounts already accrued toward medical and pharmacy deductibles, out- of-pocket limits, and benefit limits (see definition of “Limited benefit”) will transfer to the new PEBB Program UMP plan. These accumulators will also transfer for any member on the subscriber’s account who changes UMP plans with the subscriber. When a subscriber enrolled in a SEBB Program UMP plan changes their enrollment to a PEBB Program UMP plan (meaning the subscriber continues to be the subscriber on the new PEBB Program UMP Plan) during an SOE, the amounts already accrued toward the medical and pharmacy deductibles and the out- of-pocket limits for themselves and their enrolled dependents will transfer to the new PEBB Program UMP plan. These accumulators will also transfer for any member on the subscriber’s account who changes UMP plans with the subscriber.
