Open Enrollment Summary & 2023 Plan Year Changes

PEBB open enrollment is mandatory this year during. It takes place October 1-31, 2022. 

What does that mean for you?

It means you must login to your PEBB portal and confirm your plans.  (Failure to complete open enrollment could result in higher out of pocket costs or the loss of benefits).

This is the time that you can change any of your coverages, add eligible dependents, remove dependents, enroll, or re-enroll in a flexible spending account (FSA), change your Health Engagement Model (HEM) status, update your personal information, or update your beneficiaries. Open Enrollment is your once-a-year opportunity to make changes to your benefit packages without having experienced a qualifying life event or family status change (marriage, birth, divorce, loss/gain of other insurance, etc.). 

The changes you make during Open Enrollment will be effective in the new plan year beginning January 1, 2023.

There are two (2) Actions required to complete both the Open Enrollment and the HEM:

  • Action 1:  PEBB Open Enrollment completion: Confirm your benefit elections, make changes, re-enroll in flexible spending accounts, AND indicate your HEM participation status for 2023. If Opting Out, you MUST take action and affirm you and your dependents have minimal essential coverage.
  • Action 2: (If planning to participate in the Health Engagement Model HEM) - Complete the HEM Health Assessment by October 31, 2022 at your current medical carrier’s website. The HEM program will provide a financial incentive in your pay of $17.50 a month if you elect to participate and an increased deductible on your health plan if you choose not to participate.

The Three easy steps to participate in both are:

  1. Enroll in a PEBB medical plan by October 31, 2022. (Be sure to say you plan to take part in HEM.)
  2. Take your health assessment on by October 31, 2022. Health assessments done after this date will not be accepted.
  3. Complete two healthy actions during the new plan year. You don’t need to report them. You just need to let us know you did them at open enrollment next year. Remember, spouses and partners don’t participate. When you participate, they get the advantage of your low family deductible.

Please refer to the Health Engagement Model landing page for links to the medical carrier’s websites, questions about healthy actions and health assessment related questions.

** Plan early to complete your Health Assessment. You may need to have your password reset which can take time. For example, Kaiser Permanente may require 10 business days to reset your password.

Surcharges and Optional Life Rates

  • Tobacco Surcharge - $25/month if employee uses tobacco + $25/month if enrolled spouse/domestic partner uses tobacco.
  • Spouse/Domestic Partner Surcharge - $50/month if spouse/domestic partner waives coverage in another employer’s group plan (non-PEBB plan) in favor of coverage through PEBB. 
  • Tobacco User Life Insurance Rates – The rates for optional employee life and optional spouse/domestic partner life insurance is higher for members that have used tobacco within the past 12 months.
  • OEBB/PEBB double coverage Surcharge - You will have to pay a monthly $5 surcharge if you are an active full-time employee and:
    • Someone in your family is covered as a member under their own PEBB or Oregon Educators Benefit Board (OEBB) plan, and
    • That person is covered as a dependent (spouse, partner or child) on your PEBB medical plan.
2023 Plan Changes
Medical Plans

General/All Medical Carriers:

  • PEBB is adding breast reduction surgery when deemed medically necessary.
  • Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGM) and diabetic testing supplies will only be covered under the pharmacy benefit- no longer covered under DME.
    • You can obtain these supplies through a retail pharmacy or mail-order pharmacy, Postal Prescription Services and Costco for more savings
    • You will be notified 60 days in advance if you are impacted by this change
    • If you currently have a prior authorization approved under the medical benefit, you do not need to seek an additional prior authorization. It will be loaded under the pharmacy benefit to ensure there is no disruption in coverage.
  • NEW! Effective 1/1/2023: PEBB members will have access to Livongo’s Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP). The program will identify members who are at risk for developing Type 2 diabetes.
    • Members who sign up will receive:
      • An advanced smart scale and app
      • Unlimited one-on-one expert coaching
      • Guidance on creating healthy habits that last
      • All-in-one weight, activity and food tracking

Dental Plans

Willamette Dental: No 2023 benefit changes.

Kaiser Permanente Dental: No 2023 benefit changes.

Vision Plans
  • VSP No 2023 benefit changes
Optional Plans
  • No 2023 benefit changes.
Opt-Out or Decline? There is a difference
  • Opt-out is a choice that results in PEBB membership. Employees that have other qualifying medical coverage can elect to opt-out of the PEBB medical enrollment and receive a cash payment in their monthly payroll checks. Employee’s MUST attest that all tax dependents have minimal essential health insurance coverage in order to qualify. To continue to opt out of medical benefits in 2023 you must:
    • Complete open enrollment between Oct. 1 and Oct. 31, 2022.
    • Attest that you still have other group (employer) coverage to receive the opt out incentive. If you don’t complete open enrollment you will remain without medical coverage and lose your monthly incentive.
  • Opt out is allowed for medical only and employees must attest to having other employer group coverage to be eligible. This means all current enrolled opt out employees need to complete open enrollment to attest regarding other coverage. If employees who have opted out previously do not attest, they will be removed from opt-out cash back and will be defaulted into a medical plan.
  • Decline is that an employee didn’t take an action to enroll in any PEBB option (including the opt-out cash payment option). You are not a PEBB member and receive no PEBB benefits.
Part-time Faculty Benefits

New this fall, related to SB 551, actively working part-time faculty working at least half-time at a single public institution of higher education or in aggregate at multiple public institutions of higher education in Oregon (Public Community College or University) during at least three of the four previous academic terms may be eligible for employee only, medical only insurance coverage. Please note current members and dependents in PEBB/OEBB plans are not eligible for this coverage. For more details regarding eligibility please visit the website here.

Dependent Eligibility (required)

PEBB will request verification of eligibility for dependents added during Open Enrollment and throughout 2023 for qualifying Midyear Changes (birth, marriage, etc.).

What does this mean? If you add dependents during Open Enrollment or through a Midyear Change Form during 2023, PEBB will send you a packet of information. PEBB will ask you to confirm that each of your dependents are eligible. To complete the process, you will simply:

  • Make copies of requested proof.
  • Mail, fax, or email the above to the PEBB Dependent Eligibility team. (NOTE: Email is not a secure method for sending documents.)

Read more about dependent eligibility on the Oregon Health Authority website. Make sure you have everything you need. Don't send anything now, wait until you receive your letter from PEBB later this year. NOTE: If you do not respond to PEBB's letter, PEBB will remove the dependents added to your coverage.

Children Turning 26

  • Coverage for adult children will terminate at the end of the month the child turns age 26. (This PEBB change was effective as of January 1, 2019).
  • PEBB completes the removal process for the overaged children. No action is needed by the Employee during open enrollment, or during the birthday month.
  • PEBB’s COBRA administrator Benefit Help Solutions (BHS) will send a COBRA packet to the child losing the PEBB coverage. The COBRA packet is mailed to the address listed in the PEBB system for child.

Top

Password Security Requirements

During Open Enrollment in 2020 PEBB established new password security requirements for logging into complete Open Enrollment.  Employees will want to read the requirements when prompted to re-set their password. Some tips include:

  • Your password must be 10-15 characters long.
  • The username and password must be different.
  • The password must contain both and uppercase and lowercase letters.

Special Situations:

You must first complete the initial new hire/newly eligible enrollment process before calling to get the HEM access code. You will complete the HEM under the “myProvidence” account regardless of the health insurance plan you elect.
  • Employees that opted out of health insurance during the 2022 plan year and are enrolling in health insurance during Open Enrollment will also need to call PEBB or Employee Benefits for an access code to complete the HEM Health Assessment.

  • New Employee Last Year: If you were issued a special access code to complete last year’s HEM assessment you must create a new user account this year using your Providence ID number, MODA ID number, or your Kaiser ID number. If you are a new employee that started in October of 2022 with a benefits coverage effective date of November 1, 2022, you cannot participate in the HEM. You must have active benefits during October of 2022 to complete the HEM. PEBB will also hold you harmless and will not increase your deductible. You can still complete Open Enrollment and make plan selections for 2023. This may require a paper form if you do not have an active PEBB number yet.

2023 Medical Home Plan - Providence Choice

Remember to register your Medical Home with the Plan before you and any enrolled family members incur medical expenses in 2023.

To receive Medical Home level of benefits, you must choose a medical home within the plan network and notify Providence of your choice before accessing services. 

If you wish to keep your Medical Home the same you do not need to call and re-designate it.  It will remain the same.

Classified Employees - Low Cost Plan Change in 2023

The typical cost share for core health benefits at OSU is a 95/5 split with OSU paying ninety-five percent (95%) and the employee paying five percent (5%). Where an employee has the opportunity to choose between two (2) medical plans and the employee enrolls in the least expensive PEBB medical plan available to them, OSU contributes ninety-seven percent (97%) to the cost of premiums for the coverage and the employee contributes three percent (3%).

Last year, Kaiser Deductible and MODA Synergy were the lowest cost plan in most areas in Oregon. In the new benefit year beginning January 1, 2023, the new contracted rates established with the PEBB medical carriers resulted in Kaiser Deductible and Providence Choice having lower rates. This means that in many situations the lowest cost plan in the county in which you live or work will be the Kaiser and in some cases, Providence Choice plans. This is not something OSU or PEBB controls. Rates are set through the contracting process with the carriers by the PEBB Board.

What this means for you: If you want to remain in the Providence Choice plan your cost share may increase to the standard 5%. 

This may be important information from you to consider when you complete the Open Enrollment Process in October and make your plan choices. Employees may use the PEBB payroll deduction estimator to learn more about the lowest cost plan in the county in which they live or work.  

If you have questions about the lowest cost plan in your area, please contact PEBB at inquiries.pebb@dhsoha.state.or.us or 1-503-373-1102
