The Local Government Health Insurance Plan (LGHIP) Voluntary Insurance Coverage(s) offers two plans. Claims administration is provided through the Southland National Insurance Company.
An eligible employee or retiree may enroll during the special one-time open enrollment or annual open enrollment or within 30 days from the initial date of employment by submitting an enrollment form to your payroll clerk. Once the form has been approved by the SEIB, coverage in the LGHIP Voluntary Insurance coverage(s) you select will begin no later than the first day of the second month after enrollment. Participants must remain in the LGHIP Voluntary Insurance Coverage(s) for at least twelve months. If enrollment is effective on any day other than January 1, coverage will remain in effect through the end of the next full Plan Year.
Eligible participants may enroll for either individual or family coverage. Members enrolled for family coverage cannot change to individual coverage outside the open enrollment period unless all dependent(s) become ineligible due to age, death or divorce
