| Extended Health Benefits Open Season |
| In last issue my confusion concerning the fact Blue Cross Blue Shield made changes of some benefits for next year and the price increase in the plan. One such controversial issue is the addition of a $7,500 co-pay for out of network surgeries which has opened up a great deal of feedback to OPM. |
| In response, I have been informed OPM has asked Blue Cross and all FEHB carriers to re-evaluate their benefits for non-emergency surgeries. I am not sure how we should get any changed information from the carriers in a timely manner, but; |
| The confusion has led to the necessity of having the Open Season enrollment period extended through December until the first of January to allow sub- scribers to make more informed decisions. This applies to: � Health insurance (FEHB) � Dental and Vision Insurance (FEDVIP) � Flexible Spending Account (FSAFEDS) |
| Now, that brings on another issue. I have talked with the OPM Retirees Information Office at number 1-888-767-6738 ext. 3919 and they feel as long as they have been notified by Dec. 31 the changes can take place without problems for the regular January 4, 2009 new enrollment period. ++ Please do your own investigating for your own needs by contacting OPM yourself as the effective dates of the belated change will vary among the programs. I am still confused. |

| From North Carolina . . . Ken Kidd I appreciate all the effort that you put into creating the web pages. It is great to read what is happening with people you have worked with in the past years. It is also nice to know that someone else appreciates Thanksgiving, and what it truly means. It is cold here, but it will be in the 60s by this afternoon. Back to shorts. Rescue Tech training tonight. We will be training on the Res-Q-Jacks for victim extrication. I do not know how much longer I can hang in there with the Fire Department, but I am working out and keeping the weight down. This area is a great place to retire, and there is plenty of things to get involved with. Take care, and have a great Holiday. Ken Kidd |
