Reminder!
We are all feeling the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It may be awhile before we get back to business as usual. That’s why PEBB has decided to give you a pass on open enrollment this year.
You have some enrollment options for this year only:
-
Are you happy with your current health care and optional plans (including your current HEM participation)? Then you don’t have to do anything this year. Your 2020 plan choices will rollover to 2021.
-
Do you need to:
- Update any of your coverages?
- Add or remove dependents?
- Newly enroll or reenroll (continue enrollment) in a Health Care or Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA)?
- Change your Health Engagement Model (HEM) status?
If you want to make any changes, you can follow the same enrollment process you used in past years. Go to PEBBenroll.com on Oct. 1 to get started.
We have prepared an Open Enrollment and Health Engagement Model (HEM) Quick Guide – better known as the Napoleon Chart – for answers to the most common enrollment scenarios. Check it out if you have questions!
Double coverage
surcharge takes effect
Oregon law requires a surcharge on active full-time employees with Oregon Educators Benefit Board (OEBB) and PEBB double medical coverage starting Jan. 1, 2021.
This surcharge will only apply to you if you answer “yes” to both questions:
- Is someone in your family other than you covered as a member under their own PEBB or OEBB medical plan?
- Are they also covered as a dependent on your PEBB plan?
Check out the 2021 Open Enrollment Guide for detailed information about the surcharge, whether it applies to you, and what your options are if you don’t want to pay it.
