Attention Health Options Program Members: Mark Your Calendar

The Option Selection Period—the time when individuals currently enrolled in the Health Options Program can make changes to their coverage for 2020—runs through November 15. If you’re a current enrollee, this is a great time to evaluate your options and decide if you want to make any changes to your Health Options Program coverage for 2020.

Watch your mail for more information. You’ll receive your Option Selection Period materials explaining what’s new for 2020 and the coverage options available. Consider these materials carefully, particularly if you have moved, or are about to move, to a new area. If you’re currently enrolled in the Enhanced, Basic or Value Medicare Rx Option, the package will also include information about these plans. Unless you notify us otherwise during the Option Selection Period, your current medical and/or prescription drug or dental coverage will continue in 2020.

Don’t delay! The Option Selection Period ends November 15, 2019, so be sure to review all the information and submit all necessary forms before then. If you have any questions about the coverage options available to you, call the HOP Administration Unit at 1-800-773-7725.

Note: These mailings are exclusively for members currently enrolled in the Health Options Program. If you are not enrolled in health coverage under the Health Options Program, you will not receive the materials described above. If you are not enrolled in the Health Options Program, you may enroll if you experience a Qualifying Event (i.e., turning 65 or losing employer-sponsored coverage).
