________________________________
Medical Plans - What's Staying the Same

All the medical plan names, deductibles, and out-of-pocket maximum amounts are staying the same for the 2020-21 plan year.

________________________________
Medical Plans - What's Changing

  *   Kaiser Permanente Medical Plan 3 will offer expanded preventive services prior to deductible.
  *   Moda’s “coordinated care” benefit where you must “choose and use” a PCP 360 remains in place this year. Your current PCP 360 selection will carry forward into the new year. You can change your PCP 360 at any time.
  *   Moda medical plans will introduce Moda 360. This added service provides a health navigator to offer personalized support for chronic conditions, coordination with your PCP 360, and more telemedicine benefits. This service will be available with all Moda medical plans.
  *   Also all Moda medical plans will feature changes to eviCore’s pre-authorization service:
     *   Initial approval of physical, occupational and speech therapies will be increased to 12 visits per 90-day period
     *   12 covered visits per year without pre-authorization

________________________________
Medical Plans - Double Coverage Surcharge

[double coverage]Starting Oct. 1, 2020, Oregon law requires a surcharge on OEBB/PEBB double coverage.

Will this surcharge apply to you? Answer these questions to find out:

1. Are you covering a family member on your OEBB medical plan who is also offered their own medical insurance as an employee through OEBB or PEBB? If yes, then ...

2. Is that family member also enrolled in that OEBB or PEBB medical insurance offered by their employer? If yes, a $5/month double-coverage surcharge will be applied.

If you answered "no" to either of these questions, the surcharge does NOT apply to you.

Other Surcharge Notes:

  *   Only pertains to OEBB/OEBB, PEBB/PEBB and OEBB/PEBB subscriber double medical coverage
  *   Only charged to ACTIVE employees (no Early Retirees or COBRA)
  *   Only charged to full-time employees (not part-time)
  *   One $5 surcharge per month (even if double-covering more than one dependent)
  *   Mainly will affect spouse/partners double covered
  *   Children are not included unless they are also an OEBB or PEBB subscriber (if their job makes them eligible for OEBB/PEBB benefits)

More surcharge questions? Watch for the FAQ coming soon to: OEBBondemand.com.<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.OEBBondemand.com&d=DwMFaQ&c=7gilq_oJKU2hnacFUWFTuYqjMQ111TRstgx6WoATdXo&r=vq2gP7Uko5TnPYyFoIKA2N4K2VUWrWzG9qxQzaiYbH1ju-izdqByPocCP8mjWmKL&m=c_VIqYlYdno5uyHHued6Z5Pntg4m8FYgxjjPsVma6qQ&s=0KNJpLZqMCLGdavzHz0u9Ry7y82qwcrj87Z2r6OeR8g&e=>

Dental and Vision Plans

  *   Dental "Incentive Plans" - Are you currently on a Moda Health/Delta Dental "incentive plan" (Plan 1 or 5)? The pandemic caused a lot of us to postpone dental appointments this year, but don't worry. Even if you didn't get to the dentist in 2019-20, Moda will not reduce your incentive level for 2020-21. Instead, your incentive will remain the same for the upcoming plan year. If you did see your dentist, your incentive level will still increase as expected, but no one will experience a decrease for 2020-21.
  *   New Hypertension ID Program - Moda Health/Delta Dental will introduce a new hypertension identification program with their dental plans.
  *   What's NOT Changing - All dental and vision plans offered through Kaiser Permanente, Willamette Dental Group, and VSP will remain the same for the 2020-21 plan year.

________________________________
Lower price for short-term disability (STD) insurance

The monthly cost for employee-paid short-term disability plans will DECREASE by 50% starting October 1, 2020. See the 2020-21 STD rates<https://www.oregon.gov/oha/OEBB/Plans/STD-Short-Term-Disability-Rates-2020-21.pdf>.
