Opt-Out Provision
State Employees who decline coverage may re-enroll during the regular Open Enrollment period each November. Special Enrollment is available for all employees who lose their other employer group health coverage, subject to the rules and procedures established by the SEIB. Note: A State employee may not be covered as a dependent under the SEHIP.
TRICARE Supplement Program
This program is discontinued effective 1/1/2008.
BC/BS Supplemental Coverage Policy
You can now opt out of the SEHIP as your primary coverage and elect supplemental coverage through the SEIB, at no charge. This could save you money. For instance, if you are eligible for coverage through another employer group plan, you can opt out of SEHIP and enroll in that plan. You can then obtain supplemental coverage through the SEIB that will cover virtually all of your out-of-pocket expenses.
Southland Optional Policy
You can opt out of the SEHIP as your primary coverage and elect coverage for an optional policy that includes: dental, cancer, hospital indemnity and vision. This optional policy will be offered at no cost to you. Participants may elect individual or family coverage. Visit Southlands website for State Employees. Southland National
