IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL
HEALTH INSURANCE ENROLLEES WITH FAMILY COVERAGE:
If you had NYSHIP FAMILY coverage as of February 1, 2009, you
should have received information sent to your home recently by
the NYS Department of Civil Service (Employee Benefits Division)
and Budco Health Services Solution to verify eligibility of all
dependents on your plan as of February 1, 2009.
It is VERY IMPORTANT that you IMMEDIATELY read all materials
you received and follow the instructions by the stated
deadlines. It is extremely important that you respond to this
communication before October 5, 2009.
- You must provide BUDCO with documentation to prove
eligibility for all of your enrolled dependents (this must be
documentation from the list they provide). Send copies of the
documents - do not mail original documents as they will not be
returned.
- If you fail to provide the documentation or fail to respond,
your dependent(s) will be removed from coverage effective
2/1/09!
- If they are removed for your failure to respond or failure
to provide proper documentation you will be responsible for
repaying all claims paid under NYSHIP for the removed dependent
as early as the date the dependent was first added to coverage.
This is an independent audit being conducted by Budco Health
Services Solution on behalf of the NYS Department of Civil
Service. The Employee Benefits Office is unable to participate
in this audit. All questions concerning this project and the
materials received must be directed to Budco at 1-888-358-2196.
