What You Need to Know:
Important Enrollment Information:
If you do not make a healthcare election during the enrollment period, the following will occur:
- Your current healthcare coverage and your dependent(s) coverage will continue. There are no plan design changes to the benefits being offered.
- If you are currently opting out of healthcare, this election will continue. You will be required to complete the Declination of Healthcare Coverage Affidavit and submit it with proof of other group or state-funded healthcare to the Office of Risk and Benefits Management. If you do not provide this required documentation, you will be automatically assigned to the Cigna SureFit (employee only) healthcare plan retroactively to the beginning of the plan year. The School Board will collect the medical opt out money you’ve received retroactively via payroll.
- If you are being deducted the spouse/domestic partner annual surcharge, the deductions will continue. However, we ask that you review your response in the Surcharge Affidavit to confirm their medical coverage status has not changed.
You can add your eligible dependent(s) during this enrollment period; however, you must have a valid Social Security Number for each eligible dependent. Proof of dependent eligibility must be submitted to the Office of Risk and Benefits Management for all dependent(s), upon request. Otherwise, coverage will be terminated for any dependent whose eligibility has not been verified; claims incurred will not be paid and any premiums deducted will not be automatically issued.
If you are currently enrolled in Flexible Benefits (i.e. dental, vision, HIC, legal, etc.), those benefits will continue for the 2022 plan year. If wish to make changes or enroll, please complete and return the 2022 Flexible Benefits Enrollment form by November 16, 2021.
To obtain an enrollment form, please contact FBMC Benefits Management, Inc., at 1.855.MDC.PS4U (1.855.632.7748), Monday – Friday, 7:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m., ET.
Healthcare Plans:
Cigna plans offered for the 2022 plan year: Cigna OAP High, Cigna OAP Standard, and Cigna SureFit.
- The Cigna SureFit plan will be the free option for all benefits eligible employees.
- Cigna SureFit requires the selection of a Primary Care Physician (PCP). If a PCP is not selected, Cigna will assign you a participating provider based on your zip code. You must live in the tri-county (Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach) service area.
Dependent Coverage:
- If you are covering your dependent, you must indicate your dependent’s social security number and provide documentation of proof of eligibility upon request. If you do not provide the required documentation, coverage will be terminated.
- You can add/terminate a dependent throughout the year, if experiencing a qualifying change in status event.
- You and your dependent must be enrolled in the same healthcare plan.
- If you cover your spouse/domestic partner on your healthcare plan and your spouse/domestic partner has coverage available from his/her own employer, an additional annual surcharge of $500 will be charged. The annual surcharge will be billed on a biweekly basis according to your pay schedule. If your spouse/domestic partner does not have an employer sponsored healthcare plan available to him/her, please make sure to select the appropriate response on the 2022 Healthcare Benefits Open Enrollment Form and the spousal/domestic surcharge will not be applied.
