Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program: Opportunity for Enrollees of Amcare Health Plans, Enrollment Codes ZH and ZQ, to Change Enrollment

Amcare Health Plan, enrollment codes ZH and ZQ, will no longer participate in the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program effective immediately, due to action by the State of Louisiana.

Amcare enrollees in codes ZH and ZQ must change to another participating plan in order to continue to receive benefits under the FEHB Program. Enrollees who do not change plans will have no benefits for the remainder of the 2002 benefit year. The opportunity to change enrollment will begin immediately and continue through October 4, 2002. The effective date of all enrollment changes will be the pay period beginning September 22, 2002. Agencies may accept belated enrollment changes, however, the effective date of all enrollments accepted after October 4, 2002 must be retroactive to September 22, 2002.

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

Abby L. Block Assistant Director    for Insurance Programs
