Renewals for DirigoChoice, PCIP and HCTC
Because these Programs will no longer be available after December 31, 2013, all coverage renewed after January 1, 2013 will be renewed for terms of less than one year. These shorter term coverage plans will conclude, along with the programs, on December 31, 2013. Coverage will run from the date of renewal until December 31, 2013, at which time coverage will terminate. For example, if current coverage is renewed on April 1, 2013, the coverage plan will last for 9 months. Similarly, coverage renewed throughout 2013 will be effective for the corresponding number of months remaining in 2013.
Renewals for the Voucher Program
Because the Program will no longer be available after December 31, 2013, all renewals after January 1, 2013 will be subsidized for terms of less than one year. These monthly employee subsidies will no longer be available after the EBT deposit of December 1, 2013.
