COVID-19 Kaiser Permanente Special Open Enrollment Opportunity
Kaiser Permanente is offering small business group employers a special open enrollment opportunity for their employees and their dependents who had previously waived coverage to enroll. If Kaiser Permanente receives the employee’s submitted application between now and April 15, 2020, they may be eligible for coverage effective May 1, 2020.
The following conditions must be met:
- All previously waived employees must be offered coverage under the same contributions as employees already participating.
- Enrollees must remain on the plan for the duration of the contract period unless employment is terminated or there is another qualifying life event for coverage changes.
- The customer understands that accumulated benefits (deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums) will not be prorated.
- All other medical coverage options must also offer this special open enrollment.
