Employment changes can be reported on the Worker Change Report Form (preferably) or by letter giving complete information. Prompt reporting is important because it facilitates the handling of billing adjustments for the employer and communication to the worker as to the status of his/her coverage.
Please remind your workers to inform us in writing when any changes occur in the status of their family members. It is important that we receive changes such as addition or deletion of dependents (i.e., spouse, child) or a change of address, because benefits and participation may be affected. Workers should use the Request for Membership Change form so that the necessary adjustments in coverage and contribution rates can be made so that there is no delay in the effective date of the coverage.
Late Reporting: If notice of a termination or transfer from your employ is not reported within 30 days of the event, the employer will be required to pay the Concordia Health Plan (CHP) contribution through the end of the month in which notification is provided. In the case of a transfer, failure to report within 30 days will result in the employer being billed for Concordia Health Plan (CHP) contributions for any interim period (the employment gap between employers) of two months or less. If the interim transfer period is more than two months, the employer will be billed through the end of the month in which the transfer was reported.
