[MyOEBB] EE Plan Management Close Tomorrow!

[MyOEBB system updates]

Hello,

EE Plan Management closes tomorrow, Friday, June 15th.  We wanted to provide you with a quick update on the status of the plans and rates for the 2018-19 plan year and let you know MyOEBB is ready for the 2018-19 plan selection process.

Rates and plan designs can be found online at: www.OEBBplandocs.com<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.OEBBplandocs.com&d=DwMFAg&c=7gilq_oJKU2hnacFUWFTuYqjMQ111TRstgx6WoATdXo&r=skRbh2WYOjojsyt50r85TJjIWkTqCGUkXTPMEPuvFwk&m=NFXSUum8kXzvTXL0JnF2z8QJvu88LApWXsHStO4PzlY&s=c0vn9tt5i3-V94HZ4Mlr1voniPwT-tBG4T7bLDCdvSU&e=>.

Here are some of the major changes that will affect EE Plan Management:

Medical

  *   For 2018-19, OEBB will be offering a new medical plan.  The Fir Medical Plan available with Moda will be available as a CCM Synergy or Summit and PPO Connexus offering.
  *   Kaiser will be expanding into the Eugene/Springfield area effective October 1st.
  *   Although this doesn't affect EE Plan Management, Healthy Futures is being discontinued effective October 1st.

Dental

  *   Although this isn't new, OEBB will continue to offer the Delta Dental Exclusive PPO/Ortho plan.  This plan is unique in that it offers coverage in-network only and members must use the more exclusive "Delta Dental PPO network" which contains fewer providers than the Premier network.

Optional Employee Life

  *   This is a great year to offer Optional Employee Life if you haven't in the past.  The Standard is offering a $200,000 Guarantee Issuance.  This means no medical evidence is required for employee coverage $200,000 or below.

Short-term Disability

  *   Plan 15 is being discontinued effective October 1st.

Long-term Disability

  *   Two new plans are now available.
     *   Plan 25 which is a Voluntary Employee Paid Plan 180 day wait @ 50% benefit.
     *   Plan 26 which is a Voluntary Employee Paid Plan 180 day wait @ 60% benefit.

Employers must enter the MyOEBB Admin Module during this EE Plan Management period to select any new plan offerings desired for their employee groups, and deselect any plans no longer needed.  Also, attached is a guide to help you with the selection process in MyOEBB.
