If an employee moves out of or resides outside of a health plan’s service area, he/she must change health plans.  To process this change:

  1. Have employee complete Insurance Enrollment and Change Form (Form-1) indicating their choice of new health plan.
  2. Obtain from employee proof of address change, such as utility bill or Purchase and Sale Agreement.
  3. Photocopy forms and proof of address change and file them in employee’s personnel file.

If an employee’s covered spouse, former spouse and/or dependent(s) moves outside or resides outside of the employee’s health plan’s service area, the entire family must change health plans to a plan that will cover the employee and his/her dependents where they reside.  (Only unmarried full-time students may reside outside of a health plan’s service area.)  Note that only UniCare/Basic is available throughout the country and outside of the U.S.  To change the family’s coverage to a new health plan:

  1. Have employee complete the Insurance Enrollment and Change Form (Form-1) checking the UniCare/Basic as their choice of a new health plan.
