Only the full-time medical plans provide routine vision care benefits. The Part-time and Retiree plans do not include routine vision care benefits (with the exception of the Kaiser HMO and Added Choice Part-time and Retiree Plans, which covers a routine vision exam).
NOTE: Part-time employees may select any of the plans offered in their service area. Full-time employees may select from only the full-time plans offered in their service area.
Employees covered by another employer group medical plan (as defined by PEBB ) may opt out of medical insurance. They may do so within 60 days of their date of hire or eligibility, consistent with a qualified status change or during Open Enrollment.
Members who opt out of medical insurance must enroll in a PEBB dental plan and basic life insurance. They may also choose to enroll in any of the available optional benefits.
