Health Insurance

We currently have Kaiser Permanente health insurance. Our group number is n11367-001. The names of our plans are as follows:

HMO plan: SBG_20F ($20 copay for regular office visits)
Prescription plan: $20 ($20 per prescription)
Dental plan: G9X ($10 office visits and up to $1500 of coverage)
Vision plan: Y (up to $150 every 2 years for glasses/contacts)

We currently pay about $319 per person per month (from 12/2005 - 12/2006) for these services. There is no pre-existing condition exclusion for our group health coverage.

Waiving Coverage

If someone waives coverage, they can't sign up for Kaiser until our next open enrollment month (generally November of every year), unless they've lost their non-Kaiser coverage through no fault of their own.

To waive coverage, print out the waive.pdf form located in fgstaff/health_insurance; hard copies in the health insurance file and have the waive-er fill it out. Keep it on file in his/her real-world personnel file in the filing cabinet.

Termination

Continuation Option

By Oregon law, we must offer up to 6 months of continued health insurance for terminated/laid off/resigning employees. The employee would pay their own premium, copays, other fees, etc. Please see Health Insurance Continuation for instructions on how to offer this coverage.
