HEP Compliance Requirements:
- HEP compliance requirements for 2020 have been suspended but not necessarily indefinitely.
- Compliance requirements may be modified in the future
- We will provide updates as they develop
Health Insurance Changes:
- The Healthcare Open Enrollment period has been delayed to September, 2020 and the transition of all employees to Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield is delayed to October 1, 2020
- The delayed transition means that all employees, retirees and dependents will remain in the plan and with the carrier that they currently have - with no changes - until October 1, 2020. There will also be no change to medical/prescription or dental rates until that time. Any open enrollment events previously scheduled for in person or online will be rescheduled.
- Increased annual costs to the plans (if any - plan costs fluctuate year-to-year) will be borne over 9 months (rather than 12) starting October 1st.
- The transition from UnitedHealthcare to Anthem BC/BS will include a new, "less expensive" plan to choose from as well. More details on the new plan are forthcoming.
