How to change plans
Compare options.
Review the plan change options for your clients in your renewal packet. Please carefully consider all the benefits of
the plan. If a plan change is needed, your client will not be able to switch back to their current plan after 30 days
past their new plan’s effective date.
Check the plan change chart.
The charts on the following pages will show whether your clients can change to their desired plan using the Plan
Change Form or whether you need to reapply for an open plan using an application.
If your client can use the Plan Change Form:
Follow the instructions on page 2 to submit the paper form.
Send your Plan Change Form either of the following ways:
fax
mail
Fax the form to:
Mail the form to:
1-866-846-2650
Kaiser Permanente
P.O. Box 203004
Denver, CO 80220-9004
If your client decides to reapply for an open plan and complete an application:
To reapply, your client will need to complete an application that will be used to evaluate whether they qualify for a
new plan. If the application is denied based on a medical condition, your client will continue in their current plan.
They will not be disenrolled.

GETTING STARTED
•
•
•
•
•
Complete the Plan Change Form, using ink only. Sign and date the form and keep a copy for your records.
You can submit one Plan Change Form if all family members are changing to the same plan. Otherwise, submit a separate Plan Change Form for
each plan selected.
Complete the “Subscriber Information” section if the subscriber is age 18 or older or if they are the financially responsible party for a subscriber under age 18.
All members age 18 or over must sign the “Plan Change Agreement.” A parent or legal guardian must sign for members under age 18.
Request an effective date. (Effective dates are not guaranteed.)
If your client was enrolled in their current plan before 2000, any plan change will require medical review. If anyone on the account is tobacco user,
their premium will be 20 percent higher. Premiums are based on medical history, tobacco use, plan effective date, age of subscriber, and geographic
location, and are subject to scheduled rate adjustments.
It is unlawful to knowingly provide false, incomplete, or misleading facts or information to an insurance company for the purpose of defrauding
or attempting to defraud the company. Penalties may include imprisonment, fines, denial of insurance, and civil damages. Any insurance company
or agent of an insurance company who knowingly provides false, incomplete, or misleading facts or information to a policyholder or claimant for the
purpose of defrauding or attempting to defraud the policyholder or claimant with regard to a settlement or award payable from insurance proceeds shall
be reported to the Colorado Division of Insurance within the Department of Regulatory Agencies.
USING THE PLAN CHANGE CHART
The bullets (•) in the charts on the following pages show which plans your client can switch to using the Plan Change Form. If your client would like
to change to a plan without a (•), they must reapply for coverage, complete an application and pass medical review. If the application is not accepted,
your client will continue to be covered under their current plan.
How to use this chart:
• Find the current plan in the left-hand column.
• Find the desired plan in the top row.
• A plan change can be made without reapplying if there’s a (•) in the box where the desired plan column intersects with the row of the current
plan. If your client has a grandfathered plan (population 1) they will keep that status if there is a (•) in the box of the desired plan.
