• Subscriber has a change in employment status that affects their eligibility for the employer contribution toward their employer-based group health plan. • Subscriber’s dependent has a change in their own employment status that affects their eligibility or their dependent’s eligibility for the employer contribution under their employer-based group health plan. “Employer contribution” means contributions made by the dependent’s current or former employer toward health coverage as described in the Treasury Regulation. • Subscriber or their dependent has a change in residence that affects health plan availability. If the subscriber has a change in residence and their current medical plan is no longer available, the subscriber must select a new medical plan as described in PEBB Program rules. If the subscriber does not elect a new medical plan as required, they will be enrolled in a PEBB medical plan designated by the director of HCA or their designee. • A court order requires the subscriber or any other individual to provide insurance coverage for an eligible dependent of the subscriber (a former spouse or former state-registered domestic partner is not an eligible dependent). • Subscriber or their dependent enrolls in coverage under Medicaid or a state Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), or the subscriber or their dependent loses eligibility for coverage under Medicaid or CHIP. • Subscriber or their dependent becomes eligible for state premium assistance subsidy for PEBB health plan coverage from Medicaid or CHIP. • Subscriber or their dependent enrolls in coverage under Medicare, or the subscriber or their dependent loses eligibility for coverage under Medicare or enrolls in or terminates enrollment in a Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug or a Part D plan. If the subscriber’s current medical plan becomes unavailable due to the subscriber or their dependents enrollment in Medicare, the subscriber must select a new medical plan. • Subscriber or their dependent’s current medical plan becomes unavailable because the subscriber or enrolled dependent is no longer eligible for a health savings account (HSA). • Subscriber or their dependent experiences a disruption of care for active and ongoing treatment that could function as a reduction in benefits for the subscriber or their dependent. The subscriber may not change their health plan election because the subscriber or dependent’s physician stops participation with the subscriber’s health plan unless the PEBB Program determines that a continuity of care issue exists. The PEBB Program will consider but not limit its consideration to the following: ▪ Active cancer treatment, such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy ▪ Treatment following a recent organ transplant ▪ A scheduled surgery ▪ Recent major surgery still within the postoperative period ▪ Treatment for a high-risk pregnancy ▪ The PEBB Program determines that there has been a substantial decrease in the providers available under a PEBB medical plan. Note: The plan cannot guarantee that any physician, hospital, or other provider will be available or remain under contract with the plan. An enrollee may not change medical plans simply because their provider or health care facility discontinues participation with this medical plan until the PEBB Program’s next annual open enrollment or when another qualifying event creates a special open enrollment for changing health plans, unless the PEBB Program determines that a continuity of care issue exists or there has been a substantial decrease in the providers available under the plan. 152 2024 UMP Select (PEBB) Certificate of Coverage
