How to Enroll Existing Groups
If you have an in-force Oxford group with out-of-area membership and wish to enroll that membership into an Oxford
USA plan, you may do so at renewal. Please call Oxford Group Services for details about enrollment procedures.
important guidelines
1. Out-of-area enrollment is limited to 50% of the
eligible employees.
2. The Oxford USA plans are non-gated and utilize the
UnitedHealthcare Choice Plus Network. Enrollees do
not need to select a primary care physician.
3. Groups in a POS or PPO plan may enroll in the in-area
design Members residing in New York, Rhode Island,
Delaware, Eastern Pennsylvania: Monroe, Pike and
Wayne Counties (plus all counties listed in 3a) and the
following Massachusetts counties: Worcester, Hampden,
Franklin, Hampshire, and Berkshire. All other out-ofarea Members must enroll in an Oxford USA plan.
3a. Groups in an HMO or EPO may enroll in the in-area
design Members residing in Delaware or the following
Pennsylvania counties: Berks, Bucks, Chester, Delaware,
Philadelphia, Montgomery, Carbon, Columbia,
Dauphin, Lackawanna, Lehigh, Luzerne, Northampton
and Schuylkill. All other out-of-area Members must
enroll in an Oxford USA plan.
4. You must elect an Oxford USA plan design for your
out-of-area Members to have access to the Choice Plus
physicians on an in-network basis. Only the Freedom
Plan PPO or Freedom Plan Direct plan options will be
available as Oxford USA plans for New Jersey small
groups.
5. If a small group does not elect to set up an Oxford USA
plan for its out-of-area enrollees, those Members must
access care on an out-of-network basis only.
6. If a group plans to cover all employees under a Freedom
Plan PPO or Freedom Plan Direct, a single census for
both in-area and out-of-area should be used. In this case,
an Oxford USA NJSG Addendum is still required, and
Member Enrollment Forms for enrollees joining the
Oxford USA plan must have “Oxford USA” noted in
the CSP field.
7. All administrative rules will default to current
in-area selections.
8. Oxford’s dental riders are not available with Oxford
USA plans. Please be sure to rate the out-of-area
enrollees accordingly.
9. All Oxford USA Members will be covered under one plan
design per group. Class carve-out options are not available.
10. All forms forwarded to enroll an Oxford USA group are
available through Group Services, or on our web site:
www.oxfordhealth.com.
