1 COMPANY INFORMATION
Company name Group ID (if assigned)
2 REASON FOR DECLINING
I’ve been offered Kaiser Permanente group health coverage by my employer. I voluntarily choose not to enroll myself in a Kaiser Permanente plan
at this time. I understand that the next opportunity to enroll will be during the annual open enrollment period or after a qualifying event.
Declination reason and carrier name impact the participation requirement. Only group coverage counts toward the participation requirement.
Reason for declining (check one):
I’m covered by another employer’s health plan through my spouse/domestic partner/parent.
I’m covered by another health plan offered by this employer.
I’m covered by another employer I work for.
I’m covered by group coverage through COBRA or Cal-COBRA.
I’m covered by Medicare, Medi-Cal, or Tricare (military or VA benefits).
I’m covered by an individual health plan.
Not interested in enrolling at this time.
