Please be aware that there has been a change in our member termination request process for fully insured business. We terminate members according to the date the group or broker has submitted in the member’s termination request paperwork; end-of-month terminations now require the group or broker to submit according to the end-of-month date.
 
For manually-processed termination requests, the official termination date will be the date that the group or broker provides in their members’ termination request* except in the case of terminating on the first of the month, in which case the last day of the prior month will be the member’s eligibility end date that they note on their termination request. This will be consistent with the dates already applied when termination transactions are processed through an electronic eligibility transaction (ESC portal, 834 or proprietary file).

*Provided it is allowable per the 90-day retroactivity rule and there is no regulatory exception that requires a different date.

Getting the right care in the right place protects one’s physical and financial well-being. But which is the best place to go when medical attention is needed? The emergency room might seem like the go-to for some of your clients but remember – the ER should only be used for life-threatening issues.
 
Did you know? Emergency care comes with not only a pricy copay but drives up group costs overall. Encourage your clients to use this helpful chart to determine what line of care is right for them, and to only utilize the ER for life-threatening conditions.
