Product Availability Changes Reminder
Effective 3/1/2009 your new groups can select exclusively from our new product portfolio, Innova SM, Engage SM, Activate SM or Regence HSA Healthplan 2.0 SM. Your renewing groups can remain on their existing products as long as no changes are made. Renewing groups wanting to make changes to their healthplan will need to transition to our new products. Groups will be allowed to drop dental and make certain changes required to bring them in to compliance with state mandates and product rules without having to move to a new product. Renewing groups can also make administrative changes to their existing policies such as changes in probation period or required work hours. A group that grows or shrinks will be allowed to move to the appropriate line of business and still remain on their existing product.
Please note that all 100+ groups will continue to have the ability to purchase all existing and new product options.
