State Employees & Retirees Face January 31 Deadline

Spread the word that State of Illinois employees and retirees can find information about an important deadline at HealthAlliance.org/StateFAQ.

Most State employees and retirees don’t have to do anything to keep their Health Alliance coverage. However, those with Health Alliance Illinois coverage (Carrier Code BS) who live or work in these counties received letters from the State explaining the January 31, 2013, deadline and their options for coverage beginning February 1, 2013:

• Adams,
• Alexander
• Brown
• Cass
• Clark
• Clay
• Crawford
• DeKalb
• Edgar
• Edwards
• Greene
• Hamilton
• Hancock
• Jefferson
• Jersey
• Lawrence
• Macon
• Macoupin
• Marion
• Massac
• Pike
• Pope
• Pulaski
• Richland
• Schuyler
• Scott
• Wabash
• Wayne
• White

We hope our affected members stay with us by choosing Health Alliance HMO (Carrier Code AH) by January 31, 2013. When they do they will:

• Have the same benefits they have today.
• Be able to see the same doctors, including their Primary Care Physician (PCP).
• Pay a lower monthly premium for their dependents.

Those in affected counties will default to the State’s Quality Care plan and pay higher premiums if they don’t make a decision by January 31, 2013.
