Health Maintenance Organization
Former employees can only enroll in this coverage if you are signed up for COBRA (Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985).
A Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) provides health coverage and prescription drug benefits to HMO participants and their eligible dependents. HMOs are not available in all areas. Coverage is provided through a network of doctors and specialists in the Community First or Scott & White service areas. You must designate and use a primary care physician in the HMO network for the HMO to pay benefits.
ERS has two HMO providers: Community First and Scott & White.
