RE:                Notice of Proposed Rulemaking for OAR 111-040-0055, OEBB Surcharge Rule
___________________________________________________________________________
The Oregon Health Authority, Oregon Educators Benefit Board (OEBB), is proposing to permanently adopt OAR 111-040-0055, OEBB's Surcharge Rule. House Bill 2266 (2019) established that OEBB impose a surcharge for an OEBB member who enrolls a spouse or dependent in their medical coverage who is also enrolled in medical coverage as a OEBB member themselves or as an PEBB member through the Public Employees' Benefit Board. This rule prescribes how the double coverage surcharge works.

You are being invited to review these proposed rules and to comment on them. If you wish to present oral testimony, a public hearing will be held via conference call on November 19, 2020 at 10:00 am. To provide oral testimony at the hearing, please dial 1-888-398-2342 access code: 537268#. You may also file written comments before 5pm on November 30, 2020 by submitting them to the OEBB Rules Coordinator at the following address:

Written comments may be e-mailed to: April.R.Kelly at state.or.us<mailto:April.R.Kelly at state.or.us> or you may FAX comments to (503) 378-5832.

Final rules will be filed after consideration of all comments and after Board approval. Any comments received after November 30 will not be reviewed or considered by OEBB unless OEBB decides to extend the public comment period to everyone.
