Missing Plan Selections Will No Longer Be a Problem
Currently, when an application is sent to the Healthy Families Program (HFP) without health, dental, or vision plan choices identified, enrollment cannot be completed. An upcoming change in the program regulations will permit the HFP to enroll children using an alternate plan assignment process. With the alternate plan assignment process, an application missing health, dental, and/or vision plan selections will still generate a letter and phone calls to the applicant requesting the missing information. However, if the missing plan selections are not received, the application will NOT be denied. Instead, the program will automatically assign plans for the eligible child(ren).
