ENROLLMENT APPLICATION/CHANGE FORM INSTRUCTIONS
SECTION 1 Check all the boxes that apply to indicate if you are a new enrollee or if you are requesting a change to your coverage. Indicate the event and date,
if applicable. Complete the additional sections that correspond to your selection.
New Enrollee: Complete all Sections where applicable.
Add Dependent: Complete all Sections where applicable.
If you are enrolling a court-ordered dependent for coverage beyond the automatic 31-day period for coverage, you must submit a copy of the
court order or decree.
If student dependent coverage is part of your employer’s plan and you are adding or enrolling a dependent child age 26 or over who is a
student, you may be required to submit a completed Student Certification form.
If you are applying for coverage for a disabled dependent over the age limit of your employer’s plan, please provide the additional information
requested in Section 6. Additional documentation may be required as addressed in that section.
Completion of Other Eligibility Requirements: Check this box only if your employer has eligibility requirements that you have met/completed prior
to enrollment, such as measurement period or orientation period. Effective Date of Benefits field is mandatory.
Cancel Enrollee: Complete Sections 1, 2, 4 and 10. In Section 4 include name, social security number, and date of birth of individual(s) cancelling.
Cancel Dependent: Complete Sections 1, 2, 4 and 10. In Section 4 include name and date of birth of individual(s) cancelling.
Declining Coverage: Complete Sections 2, 9 and 10.
SECTIONS 2 & 3
Complete all portions related to the coverages for which you are applying.
If you work for an employer with 2-50 employees: Please list the seven-character plan ID for your selected benefit design (example: B634ADT)
in the plan # field. If you are unsure of your group size or do not know your plan ID, please ask for guidance from your employer.
SECTION 4 Complete all areas that apply to you and each dependent.
For HMO only:
Blue Premier
SM
and Blue Essentials
SM
are HMO plans that require a primary care physician/practitioner (PCP) selection. Blue Premier Access
SM
and Blue Essentials Access
SM
are HMO plans that do not require a PCP
selection.
Those applying for HMO coverage that require PCP selection should select a PCP for each individual to be covered. List the name
of the physician/practitioner and the provider number from the provider directory or Provider Finder
®
at bcbstx.com
. Be sure to check the
appropriate box for a new patient.
ATTENTION FEMALE MEMBERS: If you select an HMO plan that requires PCP selection, remember that your PCP’s network may affect your
choice of an OB/GYN. You have the right to receive services from an OB/GYN without first obtaining a referral from your PCP. However, for HMO
members, the OB/GYN from whom you receive services must belong to the same physician practice group or independent practice association (IPA)
as your PCP. This is another reason to make certain that your PCP’s network includes the specialists – particularly the OB/GYN – and hospitals that
you prefer. You are not required to designate an OB/GYN. You may elect to receive OB/GYN services from your PCP.
Change Primary Care Physician/Practitioner: In Section 1, check the “Other Change(s)” box, then complete sections 2, 3, 4 and 10.
In Section 4, please include enrollee’s or dependent’s name, social security number, date of birth, and name and number of the new PCP.
Change Address / Name: In Section 1, check the “Other Change(s)” box, then complete sections 1, 2 and 10.
SECTION 5 Complete this section if your employer is offering life insurance coverage.
SECTION 6 Complete this section if you are applying for coverage for a disabled dependent child over the dependent child age limit of your employer’s plan.
A disabled dependent must be certified by medical underwriting and a completed Dependent Child’s Statement of Disability form must be submitted
with this enrollment application.
SECTION 7 Complete this section if you or any dependent have other health care coverage through an employer (group coverage) that will not be cancelled when
the coverage under this application becomes effective.
SECTION 8 Complete this section if you or any of your dependents are covered by Medicare.
SECTION 9 Complete this section if you are declining health coverage for yourself and your dependents. Anyone declining coverage for any reason should
complete Section 9, not just those declining because of other coverage.
SECTION 10 Sign your name and date the enrollment application if you agree to the conditions set forth in this section. Your enrollment application should be submitted to your
employer’s Enrollment Department, which will then submit your form to: Group Accounts Dept. • P. O. Box 655730 • Dallas, TX 75265-5730
730197.1216
Changes in state or federal law or regulations, or interpretations thereof, may change the terms and conditions of coverage.
IMPORTANT NOTICE – DECLINATION OF HEALTH COVERAGE
If you are declining enrollment for yourself or your dependents (including your spouse) because of other health care coverage, you
may, in the future, be able to enroll yourself or your dependents in the plan if you request enrollment within 31 days after your
other coverage ends. In addition, if you have a new dependent as a result of a marriage, birth, adoption, becoming a party in a suit
for adoption, or placement of a foster child in your home, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents if you request
enrollment within 31 days after the marriage, birth, adoption, suit for adoption, or placement of an eligible foster child in your home.

Please Note: If your group offers a Consumer Choice health plan you have the option to choose a Consumer Choice
of Benefits Health Insurance Plan or Consumer Choice of Benefits Health Maintenance Organization health care
plan that, either in whole or in part, does not provide state-mandated health benefits normally required in accident
and sickness insurance policies or evidences of coverage in Texas. This standard health benefit plan may provide
a more affordable health insurance policy or health plan for you, although, at the same time, it may provide you
with fewer health benefits than those normally included as state-mandated health benefits in policies or evidences
of coverage in Texas. If you choose this standard health benefit plan, please consult with your insurance agent to
discover which state-mandated health benefits are excluded in this policy or evidence of coverage.
