This is to advise you that Family Health Plan Cooperative, enrollment code WH, in the state of Wisconsin, is liquidating and will no longer participate in the FEHB Program after October 31, 2000.

We are authorizing an opportunity for Family Health Plan Cooperative enrollees to change their enrollment to another participating plan. The opportunity to change enrollment will begin immediately and continue through November 13, 2000. If enrollees do not change plans during this special period, their 2000 enrollment (rates and benefits) will remain the same except that their provider network will change and Compcare Health Services Insurance Corporation ("CompcareBlue") will administer the Family Health Plan contract. Do not allow members to enroll in other HMO's that notified us that they are terminating December 31, 2000.

Enrollees wishing to change plans will have until November 13, 2000 to submit a Standard Form (SF) 2809. The effective date of new coverage should be made retroactive to the pay period beginning on October 22, 2000. Enrollees who do not change will continue to receive benefits under CompcareBlue only for the remainder of the 2000 contract year. These enrollees must make a regular open season election in order to continue to receive benefits under the FEHB Program for the 2001 contract year. The 2000 open season is scheduled for November 13, 2000 - December 11, 2000.

The Plan will send enrollees a letter to advise them of this opportunity to change enrollment. We have attached a copy of that letter for your information.

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

Abby L. Block, Chief Insurance Policy    and Information Division
