SUBJECT: November 2014 SEHP Benefit card distribution
DATE: November 10, 2014
SEHP benefit cards will be mailed to all enrollees and dependents November 11, 2014. The expiration date will be August 31, 2015. The card lists copayments for the most frequently used services including the prescription drug copayments effective January 1, 2015.
The existing card has the correct copayments through the end of the year. Please remind enrollees to destroy the existing card when changing to the newly issued one.
The files were pulled from NYBEAS on November 5, 2014. Any employee added to NYBEAS after that date will receive a card in our normal weekly card mailing for new SEHP enrollees.
If you have any questions about the SEHP card distribution, please contact EBD Communications at 518-457-7577. If you have any questions about SEHP benefits, please call your EBD processor at the HBA helpline 518-474-2780.
