|  |     Kenn,
    You can add me to the list.  I am going with the HMO elect but I will
    still have to pay the $300.00 deductible and 30% for him.

|  |    Currently, I'm not paying insurance for my kids.  But I have in the past. 
   In fact, my ex took over the insurance just before all these "options"
   were given to us last year.
   Things can always change, so I'm very much interested in this.
   What can I do to help?

|  | When my wife was working for DEC I had to pay for a policy just for the
kids, because I was covered under JH.

|  | I think we may have worked out our situation - the ex's husband (also a 
DEC employee) will carry the kids on his HMO out there, we will carry the 
kids on our HMO here.  And we'll pay the out-of-pocket expenses.  Have to
get it all in writing first though.  But should anything change, we could
very well be back to the (JH)DMP $$$$$ dilemna again.
I spoke to my personnel rep who said DEC was aware of the problem and there
were going to be some personnel meetings after the end of the open enrollment 
period to discuss these types of issues.

|  |     I'm in this situation, too.  I will be relocating to Santa Clara, CA,
    which is in a high rate DMP district, while my kids are in Dallas,
    TX, a low-rate DMP district.   I'm under a court order to maintain
    JH-type coverage for the children.

|  |     I'm in this situation also.  I'm composing a letter to Fran Bastien
    (ICS::BASTIEN) who is with U.S. Benefits.  I'm not sure yet what his
    role is with that group, but he's the one our PSA suggested I contact.
    
    By the way.  My kids live in San Antonio, Texas.  THere are NO HMOs
    offered there by the DEC plans.  
    
    In San Antonio, DMP-1 costs $0.00/$9.79 (individual/family) and DMP-2
    costs $5.52/$23.92.   
    
    Here in PKO,  DMP-1 costs $16.34/$44.35 and DMP-2 costs $21.98/59.00
    and there are five HMOs offered plus the HMO Elect.

| 181.16 | Watch out, if you are covering an ex-spouse... | MROA::DUPUIS |  | Wed Dec 27 1995 06:07 | 34 | 
|  |     I posted this in the DIGITAL notefile, but thought that this might be
    appropriate in here as well.....
    
    Okay I have a twist on this....I noticed right away that I had no
    dependants listed when I received my statement, so I called benefits
    express and they explain to me that all my dependants were covered but
    to go ahead and give her the information and she would update the
    system.  I gave her my children and my exhusband, who according to my
    divorce agreement I cover him until it becomes an added expense.  The
    woman took the info and I thought I was all set. WRONG, two days later
    I get a call from benefits express telling me that Digital does not
    allow coverage of ex-spouses, I asked since when and she said that she
    needed me to fax her a copy of my divorce agreement where it says I
    will cover him, so I did so.  A week later, I get an updated sheet and
    it lists my daughters but not my x.  I call benefits express and she
    tells me that he is showing in the system that the previous woman must
    not have hit the right button to release the information, but she would
    go ahead and process it and I would receive a new statement.  I
    received a new statement and he was listed so I thought everything was
    fine, WRONG again, last night their was mail from Fallon Clinic
    addressed to my x at my address so I opened it and it tells him that
    they (Fallon) received a request from DIGITAL (under my policy) to
    terminate him health coverage effective the first of the year.  So now
    I have to wait until 9am to find out what is going on.  Has anyone else
    run into this problem????
    
    If I have to pay the price for family coverage and they are not going
    to reduce my rate for not having a spouse, why isn't he covered??????
    
    Why have they been paying for the past three years and why have I never
    been notified that Digital was changing it's policy??????
    
    Thanks,
    Roberta
