Instructions to Help You Complete a PERACare Combination Pre-Medicare and Medicare Enrollment/Change Form

Please note: If you have already enrolled in PERACare and are using the form to make a change, complete only the coverage information that you wish to change. Any coverage you are not changing will remain in place. If you would like to cancel any part of your PERACare coverage, you must complete a PERACare Program Cancellation form.

Side 1 of Form

Your SSN/SSN of Deceased PERA Member/Retiree

Print your Social Security number inside the boxes provided. If you are not the PERA member, print the Social Security number for the deceased PERA member or retiree in the second row of boxes.

Complete your full name, date of birth, and daytime telephone number.

Signature

Sign the form. By doing so you are certifying that you have read the PERACare Health Benefits Program booklets and are agreeing to the terms and conditions of the PERACare program listed in the Signature Certification box.

Effective Date

This is the date that you want health care coverage under PERACare to become effective.

If you are not enrolling during open enrollment, the effective date should coincide with the date your prior coverage ends or the date you become Medicare-eligible. If the date you want coverage to be effective is different from your retirement effective date, you may have to complete a Certification of Previous Health Care Coverage form (see the PERACare Enrollment Eligibility Chart for details).
