  How to enroll
  As coverage effective dates differ according to hours worked, please contact the Plan Administrator to verify when your coverage begins. Please see the Eligibility section for information on how eligibility for coverage is determined.

You will automatically be enrolled in the LifeWise PPO Plan as of your effective date unless you choose an HMO option in advance. If you are interested in enrolling in one of the HMO options, please carefully review their information provided on this site and then print, complete, and mail the enrollment form to the Plan Administrator.

Identification cards for the medical, dental and the prescription plan (if applicable) will be sent to you shortly after your effective date for coverage is verified. You will receive identification cards directly from the Carrier based on the plan you elected at the time of enrollment. If we can be of further assistance, please feel free to contact us at (503) 224-0048 ext. 1678 or (800) 547-4457 ext. 1678.
