Important Reminders: Enrolling Your Spouse/Domestic Partner or Dependent Children Updating Your Life Insurance Page 3
Starting in 2012, the Anthem Lumenos HRA Plan will not pay secondary claims. If your spouse/domestic partner or child(ren) has primary coverage under another medical plan, the Anthem Lumenos HRA plan will not coordinate benefits coverage with that plan. The Anthem Lumenos HRA plan no longer pays secondary claims. However, you may still receive a Coordination of Benefits (COB) inquiry letter and be required to provide information regarding other coverage. Please note: You and your spouse/domestic partner may not need to cover yourselves and/or your child(ren) under both medical plans. Since loss of medical coverage for a dependent or yourself (if you are not enrolled in our plan) is a Qualifying Status change, you and/or your dependents may enroll in the Fujitsu medical plan within 31 days of loss of the other coverage. See the Medical Summary Plan Description posted at https://fujitsu.employee.com for a complete list of Qualifying events or call the Fujitsu Benefits Service Center at 1-800-552-5989. Reminder: If both you and your spouse/domestic partner cover your dependent children, the primary payor plan continues to be determined by the date of birth of the parents. The plan of the parent whose birthday (month and day) falls earlier in the calendar year is the primary plan.
The Kaiser CA HMO plan is changing to a Deductible HMO (DHMO) plan. Members will need to meet an annual deductible before certain services are paid by the plan. Once you have met your Annual Deductible you will pay 10% coinsurance for most services, up to the Annual Out-of-Pocket Maximum. Routine preventive care is covered at 100%. Details of the Kaiser CA DHMO plan and information on an upcoming meeting and scheduled webcasts are included in mailings to current members. Upcoming Sharing News articles will also provide resources for learning more about the Kaiser CA DHMO plan.
Short-Term Disability Insurance pre-existing condition limitations eliminated for new hires beginning January 1, 2012. If you are a new hire in 2012 and enroll in the plan when you are first benefits eligible (hire date) you are not subject to pre-existing condition limitations. If you were a new hire in 2011 and enrolled in the plan when you were first benefits eligible (hire date) the pre-existing limitations will not apply to you in 2012. If you are a current employee who enrolls in the plan for the first time during Annual Enrollment you are still subject to the pre-existing condition limitations in 2012.
Long-Term Care Insurance plan administrator is changing in 2012. Prudential will replace MetLife as the Long-Term care plan insurer in early 2012. Information regarding this transition will be available in 2012.
Lumenos HRA and HSA plan participants can purchase a 90-day supply of prescription drugs through either mail order or retail. (You may still purchase a 30-day supply through retail.) To check pricing go to www.anthem.com/ca. Just a reminder, Express Scripts began managing prescription drug benefits for the Anthem Lumenos Plans on July 1. Amounts paid for over-the-counter drugs do not qualify for reimbursement from your Health Care FSA or Lumenos Health Savings Account (HSA). For additional information go online or contact the Internal Revenue Service and ask for Publication #502. You may also contact Conexis at 1-866-279-8385 or www.conexis.org for assistance. Fujitsu continues to verify the eligibility of newly enrolled dependents in the medical and dental plans.
