The City of Virginia Beach (COVB) and Virginia Beach City Public Schools (VBCPS) may extend temporary benefit coverage to you and members of your family for certain benefit plans when coverage would otherwise end. The Consolidated Benefits Office (CBO) administers PHSA (Public Health Service Act) continuation of coverage (also referred to as COBRA), to each qualified beneficiary giving them an independent right to elect.
This guide provides information about the benefits available to you if you are offered PHSA/COBRA continuation of coverage, how to enroll, deadlines to be aware of, as well as community resources you may choose to take advantage of.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Once enrolled, how do I pay for my PHSA/COBRA benefits?
A: Once your benefit(s) enrollment has been processed, the Consolidated Benefits Office will mail you an election confirmation letter with monthly payment coupons. These coupons will reflect your plan(s), monthly premium(s), payment due date and check payable information.

A: No. At this time, only checks or money orders are accepted forms of payment.
Q: Can I prorate my monthly premium if I gain new coverage somewhere else?
A: No. Unfortunately, there is not an option to pay a prorated amount or have coverage for only a portion of the month.Monthly premiums must be paid in full within the designated timeframe.
Q: Do I have to stay with the same plan(s) for my entire PHSA/COBRA term?
A: No. Each fall, we mail information to all PHSA/COBRA participants to notify them of their annual Open Enrollment, which allows them the opportunity to change plans and/or tiers for the new plan year (January 1).

Q: Can I use the same Optima Health insurance card I had as an active employee?
A: No. Once your PHSA/COBRA Optima Health insurance enrollment has been processed, Optima will mail you a newinsurance card with your new group number.

Health Tip:Don't forget to keep your
Primary Care Physician (PCP) up to date!
The City of Virginia Beach and Virginia Beach City Public Schools offer three health plan options through Optima Health: POS Basic, POS Standard, and POS Premier. Enrolling in health insurance protects you from paying the full cost of medical services when you’re injured, sick, or have other medical costs. Health insurance provides coverage for preventive care, treatment, pharmacy, and other medical services. If you elect continuation of health coverage, you must keep the same plan you were enrolled in prior to loss of coverage for the remainder of the plan year unless you experience a Qualifying Life Event (QLE) (see bottom of page for more information). Please note: PHSA/COBRA participants will receive new Optima Health insurance card(s) mailed to their home address. It is encouraged that new participants enroll in a timely manner to account for the time it takes for forms to be received, processed and new Optima card(s) mailed.
Primary Care Physician You can view or change your Primary Care Physician (PCP) at any time online on OptimaHealth.com. Select:
• "Employer Plans"• "POS"• "POS with PHCS Network"
As a friendly reminder, you may see a cost savings (see the Summary of Benefits on page 5) if you elect a physician in the Sentara Quality Care Network (SQCN). Information on SQCN can be found here: SentaraQualityCareNetwork.com.
QUALIFYING LIFE EVENTS... Certain events in your life (i.e. marriage, divorce, birth of a child, etc.) allow you to make changes to your benefit plan(s). If you experience a qualifying life event during the plan year it is important thatall required forms are received in the Consolidated Benefits Office (CBO) within 30 calendar days following the qualifying life event date, even if the supporting documentation is not yet available.Please contact the CBO for more information.

WAGEWORKS HEALTH CARE FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNT COVERAGE
A Health Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA) allows participating active employees to set aside pre-tax dollars to pay for certain out-of-pocket expenses. If you participated as an active employee, you may take one of the following actions:
Option 1: Elect to continue participation for the remainder of the current benefit plan year, if funds remain in your account. By electing to continue on an after-tax basis, through PHSA, you may get reimbursed for eligible medical expenses with any remaining funds through the end of the benefit plan year in which you were separated from coverage as an active employee. Eligible participants may select to continue participation using the PHSA/COBRA Summary & Election Form (mailed to homes upon initial qualification for PHSA/COBRA coverage). If eligible, use the PHSA/COBRA Summary & Election Form to enroll: • Under "Insurance Plan", select the listed Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
(If you do not see one listed, you are not eligible.) • Complete the "PHSA/COBRA Election Form Information" section • Sign and date the bottom portion of the form • Submit the form to the Consolidated Benefits Office.
Option 2: Submit claims incurred for the calendar year prior to separation of coverage to WageWorks withoutenrolling in a Health Care FSA as a PHSA participant.All claims must be submitted by the end of the month following 90 calendar days after your coverage end date by using the Pay Me Back Claims Form found on WageWorks.com. Any funds remaining after that time will be forfeited.
For comprehensive detailed plan information, access the WageWorks member site at participant.WageWorks.com. If you have questions, or need further information on WageWorks FSAs, you may contact WageWorks at 877.924.3967.
