Applying
for Enrollment
Workers
wishing to enroll themselves or their dependents should complete
an Annual Open Enrollment Form and give it to their employer
so that it can be mailed to Concordia Plan Services’
office by the due date set each fall by Concordia Plan Services.
The enrollment form is available from the employer. Enrollment
will be effective the following January 1 if the completed
form is submitted by the due date set by Concordia Plan Services.
If possible, a HIPAA certificate of prior coverage should
be attached to the form. If a HIPAA certificate is not readily
available, but will be soon, the enrollment form should still
be mailed prior to the deadline date to ensure coverage for
the following January 1. The HIPAA certificate can be mailed
at a later date when it becomes available. |

Once
Concordia Plan Services receives the HIPAA certificate, the
enrollee’s file will be adjusted accordingly. A HIPAA
certificate can be obtained through the Human Resources department
of an employer (for group health coverage plans) or through
an agent of an insurance company (for individual plan coverage).
In most instances, the insurance company sends a HIPAA certificate
within 30 days after termination. If the certificate is needed
sooner, special requests may need to be made to the employer
or insurance company.

The
certificate should include the names of dependents covered
under the other insurance plan if those dependents are being
enrolled in the CHP under the Annual Open Enrollment Period.

If you will be mailing your HIPAA certificate separately from
your Annual Open Enrollment Form, please address it to:
