Qualifying EventsIt is important to notify Aetna when an employeewishes to add him or herself and/or deletedependents due to a change in family status or anevent such as the loss of coverage. Becauseemployee and dependent additions may affect yourpremium and your bill, you must forward to theAetna Small Group Service Center a completedenrollment form within 31 days of the qualifyingevent. Changes requested after the 31 dayperiod are late and follow the rules for lateapplicants.

Loss of other coverage allows an employee and/ordependent(s) to enroll outside of Open Enrollment.To enroll, the subscriber must submit proof ofprevious insurance coverage, and a completedenrollment form within 31 days of the date of loss ofcoverage.

Enrollment/Change FormsThe enrollment form is used to enroll and terminatesubscribers, to process changes in family status,such as the birth of a child, removal of a dependent,a marriage or address change.

You should review all completed enrollmentforms and submit to Aetna within 31 daysof the event with the exception of terminationswhich must be reported within 30 days.

For proper processing and timely issuing of IDcards, confirm that the form includes the followinginformation before submitting the form to Aetna.! Group/Control Number! Employer name! Plan option (if applicable)

Primary Care PhysicianSelectionIn some states, HMO’s are required to designate aparticipating primary care physician (PCP) formembers who do not select a PCP at the time ofenrollment. The selection is a random processbased on the PCP’s proximity to the member’sresidence, allowing the member to access the fullrange of covered benefits under the plan. Membersare free to change this selection at any time bycalling Member Services at the toll-free number ontheir ID card. However, you should encourage youremployees to select a PCP for themselves and anyeligible dependents at the time of enrollment.Contact your broker, or the Aetna Small GroupService Center if you have questions about thispolicy.
