• How will adjustments to member cost sharing for COVID-19 (Coronavirus) be handled? Is notification required?
• If COVID-19 (Coronavirus) causes my current plan members to no longer meet eligibility requirements for coverage under my plan (for example, as a result of a furlough, reduced hours, or extending coverage through the end of the month for a terminated employee), how will stop-loss claims for those members be handled?
