OPEN ENROLLMENT IS HERE! September 20 through October 15 Changes effective January 1, 20 22

To: All benefitted employees This is the only time each year that you can make changes to your health insurance plans, add/delete dependents, and enroll in the 2022 flexible spending account for medical and/or dependent care expenses. That makes this the perfect opportunity for you to review your benefit enrollments, update dependent information and make sure you are taking advantage of all the benefits available to you from the City! We want to make sure you are aware of 2022 key changes to your current health plan. CalPERS’ three PPO plans, PERSCare, PERS Choice, and PERS Select, will transition to two plans, PERS Gold and PERS Platinum. The two PPO plans will offer more distinction in benefit design, networks, and premium pricing.  PERSCare : Transitions to PERS Platinum. Retains the same 10% coinsurance benefit design and network as PERSCare.  PERS Choice : Transitions to PERS Platinum. Offers a 10% coinsurance benefit design and retains the same broad network as PERS Choice.  PERS Select : Transitions to PERS Gold. Retains the same 20% coinsurance benefit design and network as PERS Select.

During Open Enrollment, you can:

Change your CalPERS health plan.



 Add eligible dependents on medical, dental and/or vision.  Remove dependents on medical, dental and/or vision  Cancel your existing CalPERS health coverage.

We hope you will find this Open Enrollment Guide to be a useful resource and tool in planning your benefit elections for 2017. Inside you will find information on all your health plans and links to individual Health Plan Websites where you can research available services and search for providers in your health network.

Things to Consider if your Health Plan is changing ( CalPERS’ three PPO plans, PERSCare, PERS Choice, and PERS Select, will transition to two plans, PERS Gold and PERS Platinum) or if you are changing Your Health Plan?

 If you change your health plan, will you be able to keep your current doctor? Search for your primary care doctor and specialist using the Search Health Plans tool in myCalPERS to see which plans they participate in. Your health plan search results include member satisfaction ratings to help inform your decision. Medicare members will need to contact the plans directly, as they do today, to verify doctor availability. Keep in mind that information shown in the tool is subject to change. Therefore, before making any plan changes, check with your health plan or your doctor’s office to ensure your doctor is available in your plan

Important Health Enrollment Reminders

• A medical group ending its contract with a health plan does not create a qualifying event to change plans outside of Open Enrollment. • You will r eceive new health plan ID cards if you change your health plan or enroll for the first time. • Review your January 2022 paycheck to ensure the correct health plan premium deduction was made. • If you change plans during Open Enrollment and you don’t see the correct deduction applied by your February paycheck, contact Jane Wilson or Robin Scattini.

• If you change health plans, do not use your previous health plan after December 31, 2021.

2022 Select HMO Benefit guide

Access to a select network of HMO doctors; lower monthly premium

40184CAMENABC BV Rev. 05/21

How the Select HMO plan can help you

Your benefits should fit your needs. This booklet is designed to help you make the right choices by highlighting the benefits that come with the Select HMO plan. If you want more details on the Select HMO plan, you can visit anthem.com/ca/calpers and download an Evidence of Coverage (EOC) booklet. One of the best things about a health maintenance organization (HMO) plan is how simple it is to use. You choose a primary care physician (PCP) to coordinate your care, and costs are straightforward — so you know what you will pay for treatment. The Select HMO plan offers you: More-affordable health benefits. You have low copays and no deductible . In some cases, you pay nothing out of pocket for care:

Type of care

Copay

Office visit to see a doctor or referred specialist

$15

Urgent care

$15

Emergency care (waived if admitted)

$50

$15

Acupuncture or chiropractic care 1

Hospital or outpatient care

Lab tests and X-rays

Preventive care (such as checkups, well-baby visits, women’s wellness exams, and flu shots)

100% coverage for preventive care. You do not have a copay when you see a doctor in your Select HMO plan’s network. Access to the doctors and hospitals you want to see. You have the freedom to choose a local doctor and medical group you may already know. If you travel out of the service area, out of state, or overseas, you have access to special programs when you need care. See Your coverage travels with you on page 4 for more information. Enhanced chiropractic and acupuncture benefits. You may have up to 20 chiropractic or acupuncture visits in a calendar year for covered services that are determined to be medically or clinically necessary. Benefits for chiropractic and acupuncture services are provided through Anthem and the American Specialty Health Plans of California (ASH). You do not need a referral from your PCP to schedule your first visit, but make sure you schedule with an acupuncturist or chiropractor in the plan’s network. Remember to bring your member ID card to the appointment. If you need help finding an ASH chiropractor or acupuncturist in your plan’s network, please call Anthem at 855-839-4524 . No claim forms. Forms aren’t needed when you see a doctor or other healthcare professional in the plan’s network. You only pay a copay — if one is required.

Picking a primary care physician If you enroll in the Select HMO plan, you need to choose a primary care physician (PCP). This is your main doctor when you have a health issue or need personal help to reach your health goals. A PCP also provides preventive care, such as a yearly checkup; makes referrals to specialists; and helps you make choices about your health. To see if a doctor is in the Select HMO plan network, go to anthem.com/ca/calpers and select Menu in the upper-left corner. Choose Find Care . Next, select PERS Select HMO . Pick a type of doctor and location. You can also search for a doctor by name. Choose Search to see doctors in your plan. If you need help finding a doctor, call Anthem Customer Service at 855-839-4524 .
