CalCPA Health is constantly monitoring the COVID-19 situation and will provide regular updates via our web site. The following administrative and plan programs are being implemented in response to the pandemic.

1. The plan eligibility requirements are modified to waive the actively at work provision for qualifying employers and employees through May 31, 2020.
   Employees who were enrolled and eligible during March and/or April 2020, but do not meet the actively at work provisions in April or May 2020, due to being furloughed, having hours reduced, layoff, or similar, may remain actively enrolled in the plan through May 31, 2020.
   For employee/employer qualifications, see COVID Information and FAQ for details
2. LiveHealth Online copays are waived through June 14, 2020.
   While many doctor offices are closed for non-emergency care, CalCPA Health is encouraging members to use its online doctor visit platform, LiveHealth Online. The IRS has allowed HSA plans to provide no-cost, on-line visits, which would normally a violation of HDHP rules.

3. COVID-19 testing costs are paid by CalCPA Health
   Normally a diagnostic test is subject to co-pays and deductibles. CalCPA Health is waiving these provisions and providing tests at no cost sharing to members.
   See COVID Information and FAQ for important testing information
   
4. Prescription Drugs
   CalCPA Health is encouraging everyone to convert their prescriptions to mail order, to reduce exposure by visiting pharmacies and to save member cost (mail order copays and drug costs are less than retail pharmacies). A retail prescription can be changed over to mail with a few clicks on the Express Scrips web site or app. Doctors can also electronically write new prescriptions directly to the mail order pharmacy.

   For those with a need for an early refill or 90-day supply at the retail pharmacy CalCPA Health has authorized pharmacists to provide this service. Many drugs are excluded from this program due to state/federal laws and supply, so check with your pharmacist.
   

5. Grace Period Extension
   Firms that have a business need to extend their April 2020 grace period may request up to 60-days, to May 31, 2020.
