Medical/Dental/Vision Coverage

Contact PEHP Medical/Dental at (801) 366-7555 or (800) 765-7347

If the employee’s spouse provided health care coverage for eligible dependents, the dependents become eligible for coverage with PEHP under the employee’s coverage. The effective date is the day after the spouse’s death. If the dependent was insured by the employee, please contact PEHP to remove the dependent from the insurance plan. Applicable forms must be filled out and submitted as needed. If the dependent was insured by a different plan (e.g., spouse's plan), then contact that plan to have the dependent removed.

If the employee has no eligible dependent children, the spouse’s principal sum is increased to 50% of the employee’s principal sum. Each eligible dependent child is insured for 15% of the employee’s principal sum. If the employee has no spouse, each eligible dependent child’s principal sum is increased to 20% of the Employee’s Principal Sum. Employees should keep PEHP informed of any changes in the addresses of family members. Employees should also keep copies of any insurance records and notices sent to PEHP.
