Changes to Existing Coverage

When your employees need to make changes to their existing coverage, either for adding or removing dependents, you should submit a Change Form to BCBSKS. Note: If an employee participates in a Flexible Benefits/Premium Conversion Plan, the employee should make sure the change is allowed as an IRS status change.

Removing Members from Coverage
Notification of any change in an employee’s status is important, including the removal of an employee and/or family member(s) from your group coverage. Please submit these changes to BCBSKS no later than the month in which the changes occurred.

Employers may cancel an employee by crossing them off the group bill and adding the termination date or completing a change form.

The effective date of the cancellation will be the first of the month following the occurrence. Any adjustment in premiums will be made by BCBSKS. (No retroactive cancellations will be allowed.)

In certain situations (i.e. death, divorce, child reaching the age limit of the contract, etc.) continuation of benefits could apply. For more detailed information, refer to the Continuation of Coverage section.

Military Policy — Please contact BCBSKS before an employee or dependent enters into active military service.

Change in Name/Address
Note: It is most important for your employees to keep us informed of changes. Without current information, important communications (i.e.: summary of claims processed, claims payments, conversion notices, etc.) may not reach them Employees may go online, telephone customer service or complete a change form.
