FCPS Open Enrollment 2006
OCTOBER 17-28, 2005
- Open enrollment for health insurance, dental, Unum life/AD&D,
disability, cancer check and flexible spending accounts
The Kentucky Employees Health Plan will be going self-insured. Self-insured
means the Commonwealth will be assuming the risk rather than the carrier. The
Commonwealth will pay a Third Party Administrator (TPA) to process health insurance
claims and to access its providers. The TPA for 2006 is Humana. Express Scripts,
Inc. will administer pharmacy benefits. You will receive one insurance card
titled Kentucky State Insurance. The current rates and plans are the same for
next year.
Important! Plan year 2006 will NOT be a total re-enrollment as previously
announced.
