Local Government Health Plan (LGHP) Benefit Plans 

During the annual Benefit Choice Election Period, members are allowed to make changes to their group insurance coverage, such as select a new health plan or add dependent coverage. Benefit Choice Enrollment forms must be submitted to your health plan representative (HPR) by close of business on May 31, 2013. Changes will be effective July 1, 2013.

Members who enroll in the Local Government Health Plan (LGHP) receive health, prescription, dental, vision and behavioral health benefits. Dependents can be enrolled in the program at an additional cost and will have the same health plan and benefits as the member. 

The health, dental, vision and prescription benefits offered to LGHP participants are administered by various plan administrators. Members interested in changing their coverage elections may do so upon experiencing an eligible qualifying change in status and should contact their Health Plan Representative (HPR) for more information.

Whenever questions arise, plan participants have various resources they can use.  On the Contact Information page, members may view the phone number for the Group Insurance Division LGHP and all of the LGHP plan administrator websites.
