If you are currently enrolled in the HealthChoice High or Basic plan and wish to stay enrolled in that plan for the next plan year, you must complete the online Tobacco-Free Attestation.
I will be new to a HealthChoice plan, do I need to complete the TFA?
No, if you will be a new HealthChoice High or Basic plan member as of Jan. 1, 2024, the attestation is waived for the first year of enrollment.
I have been enrolled in the HealthChoice High Deductible Health Plan, but will be changing to the HealthChoice High or Basic for 2024. Do I need to complete the TFA?
If you have been enrolled in the HealthChoice HDHP prior to enrolling in the HealthChoice High or Basic plan, you will need to complete the Tobacco-Free Attestation.
What happens if I do not complete the TFA?
If you do not complete the Tobacco-Free Attestation or complete one of the reasonable alternatives and you are not in the first-year grace period, you will automatically be enrolled in the HealthChoice High Alternative or Basic Alternative plan effective Jan. 1, and your annual deductible will be $250 higher.
What if I or my covered dependents currently use tobacco products?
If you or your covered dependents currently use tobacco, you should enroll in either the HealthChoice High Alternative or Basic Alternative plan, unless you are currently in a grace period.
What if I and my covered dependents want to enroll in the HealthChoice High Deductible Health Plan?
The HealthChoice High Deductible Health Plan does not require the Tobacco-Free Attestation.
What if I have HealthChoice dental but not HealthChoice health coverage?
The Tobacco-Free Attestation only applies to members who are currently enrolled in the HealthChoice High or Basic health plan.
What if I or my covered dependent is trying to quit using tobacco products, can I complete the Tobacco-Free Attestation?
You and/or your dependent must be tobacco free for 90 days prior to completing the attestation. If you cannot sign the Tobacco-Free Attestation because either you or a covered dependent uses tobacco, you can still qualify for the High or Basic plan if those who use tobacco complete one of the following alternatives:
- Show proof of an attempt to quit using tobacco by enrolling in the quit tobacco program available through the Oklahoma Tobacco Helpline (800-QUIT-NOW) and Optum and completing three coaching calls.
- Provide a letter from your doctor indicating it is not medically advisable for you or your covered dependents to quit tobacco.
Coordination of benefits is an industry standard process that occurs when two insurance plans must work together to pay claims for the same person. Coordinating benefits establishes which plan is primary and which plan is secondary and helps avoid duplicate payments by making sure the two plans do not pay more than the total amount of the claim. The primary plan pays first and the secondary plan pays any remaining balance after your share of the costs is deducted. This process also helps reduce the cost of insurance premiums.
Who needs to complete the Verification of Other Insurance Coverage/coordination of benefits?
If you or your covered dependents have other health and/or dental coverage and are also enrolled in a HealthChoice health or dental plan, you are required to complete the Verification of Other Insurance Coverage information. You should also notify us when you or your covered dependent(s) add or drop other health or dental coverage. Failure to verify other insurance coverage will result in denial of claims until verification is completed. Complete your verification by registering at HealthChoiceOK.com or by calling HealthChoice Customer Care at 800-323-4314.
