The State Health Plan's Annual Enrollment will end on June 8. Nearly 42 percent of employees have not taken action during Annual Enrollment. This means that nearly half of your employees will remain on the 70/30 Basic plan for the months of July and August.

A second enrollment will take place in July for a September 1, 2011, effective date. Enrollment elections made in July will be for September 1, 2011, and will not be retroactive to July 1, 2011. It is important to remind your employees of this date and their need to take action if they wish to enroll in the 80/20 Standard plan for the months of July and August. It is also important that you remind your employees to complete their enrollments before June 8, 2011.

If members do not make a benefit election by June 8th, they will be in the 70/30 Basic plan effective July 1, 2011. Due to the timing, the State Health Plan will be unable to make any enrollment exceptions for members.

Please refer to the State Health Plan website for instructions on identifying members who have not completed an Annual Enrollment election for July 1, 2011.
