Section 2699.6181 - Disenrollment of Member Employees and Dependents

(a) Member employees and their dependents, if any, shall be disenrolled from the program and from the program's participating carriers when any of the following occur:

(b) The program shall disenroll an enrollee pursuant to (a)(1) or (a)(2) or (a)(3) above within sixty (60) calendar days of the program's determination to disenroll unless disenrollment is retroactive. If the program determines that an enrolled member employee and/or dependent has committed an act of fraud or misrepresentation, the program may disenroll the employee and/or dependent as early as the date of the act of fraud or misrepresentation.

(c) To request to disenroll enrollees pursuant to (a)(4), (a)(5), or (a)(6) above, a participating employer shall notify the program of the full names, addresses, dates of birth, sex, and social security numbers of the enrollees to be disenrolled. If disenrolled pursuant to (a)(4), the effective date of the disenrollment shall be no later than 60 days from receipt of the notice. Disenrollment will be no earlier than the end of the month in which notice is received. However, if notice is received by the first working day of a month, the disenrollment may be effective on the last day of the previous calendar month. If disenrolled pursuant to (a)(5) or (a)(6) the disenrollment shall be no later than 60 days from receipt of the request unless disenrollment is retroactive, in accordance with (d) below.

(d) If the program determines that an employee is or was not a qualified member employee of a participating employer or a dependent is or was not a dependent of a member employee, the program may disenroll the employee or dependent. The disenrollment make take place as early as the date the employee ceased being a member employee or the dependent ceased being a dependent. If the program determines that the enrolled person never had qualifying status as a member employee or dependent, the disenrollment may take place as early as that person's original effective date of coverage.

(e) A participating member employer and the participating guaranteed association shall be notified by the program in writing of the disenrollment and effective date of disenrollment of an sole employee and/or dependents and the reason for the disenrollment.

(f) The program shall notify the participating carrier of the date of disenrollment.

(g) The member employer's premium shall be adjusted, if applicable, as of the effective date of any disenrollment.

(h) If disenrollment pursuant to (a)(3) or (a)(4)(B) above, an member employee and dependents, if any, shall not be eligible for enrollment in the program through the same participating employer for one (1) year from the date of disenrollment. If disenrolled pursuant to (a)(4)(A), an employee or dependent who subsequently loses his or her coverage under another employer sponsored health plan can be re-enrolled in the program if the employee or dependent is otherwise eligible and applies for enrollment pursuant to Section 2699.6147 within thirty (30) calendar days of losing coverage.
