Questions & Answers Schedule of Benefits

Healthcare from COS to your next adventure.


Whether you are heading home to start a new career, advancing your education or continuing to explore the world, this program is designed to meet your needs as a returning Volunteer. Our program offers optional healthcare plans tailored to meet your needs, and offers competitive premiums, affordable doctors visits and coverage for prescriptions, such as birth control.

Plan Options
The following plan information will help you make the best choice. We have also included a summary of benefits on the next page and information on how to receive a complete policy.

CorpsCare

Why is CorpsCare the plan for you?


First Month Free When you close service, Peace Corps automatically enrolls you in the CorpsCare plan, and pays for the first month of coverage. All Volunteers are guaranteed coverage and can choose to extend their coverage up to 18 months. Affordable Health Insurance Options Two unique insurance plans are offered to meet the diverse health and budget needs of returning Volunteers. Payment Flexibility Flexible monthly payment plans are available and this is the only healthcare program that allows payment through the Peace Corps Readjustment Allowance.

The CorpsCare insurance plan is designed to provide worldwide medical insurance, including international medical evacuation. This competitively priced insurance plan offers protection against current and future medical expenses. This plan is strongly recommended for all Volunteers, especially those currently seeking medical treatment for an illness or condition, including pregnancy and maintenance prescriptions.

CorpsCare

This alternative insurance plan offers Volunteers an option for more affordable, quality health coverage. CorpsCare Edge is for Volunteers who are healthy and not currently seeking medical treatment. This program features a lower monthly premium, affordable office visits and coverage for major medical expenses. While less expensive, this plan has additional coverage limitations and an increased share of medical costs for the Volunteer.

Edge

What are your next steps?


1. Confirm eligibility. All Peace Corps and Response Volunteers, Trainees and their families are eligible for the program. 2. Choose your plan. Following your first month of free coverage, you have the option to extend your coverage up to an additional 18 months with the CorpsCare plan or choose the alternative CorpsCare Edge plan. As each person has unique insurance requirements, it is important to understand the benefits and coverage provided under each plan. 3. Extend your coverage. It is important for all Volunteers to extend their coverage and enroll their families within 31 days of their COS date.

Instructions and Guidelines


Enrollment Volunteers are automatically eligible, enrolled and covered for one month following COS.

Coverage Extension After the first month, Volunteers, spouses and dependent children can extend coverage up to 18 months. Coverage can be extended for as many months in advance as desired or month to month, but must remain continuous. To extend your coverage, you will need your Peace Corps Volunteer ID Number. This number was issued to you at the beginning of your Peace Corps service. You may choose to continue your coverage under the CorpsCare plan or switch to the CorpsCare Edge plan at any time. If you choose the CorpsCare Edge plan, you may not switch back to the CorpsCare plan. Submit your completed Extension Request Form with the Payment Options section to Clements International or complete the form online (see below). Payment Options Peace Corps pays for the first months premium for the Volunteer and dependent children. However, spouses must pay for the first months premium. All enrollees will be responsible for payment of all extension months which can be paid for in advance. Payments may be made through the Peace Corps Readjustment Allowance, by check, credit card or Telecheck.
