Adding a newborn (HMSA's Plan for Federal Employees)
Members who have HMSA's Plan for Federal Employees need to follow these instructions for adding a newborn to their plan:
- Active employees with self-only plan: Soon after the birth of the child, please contact your current agency/payroll office to add your newborn to your plan. The agency/payroll office will validate the addition and determine the effective date for your baby.
- Active employees with family plan: Soon after the birth of the child, please send a written request with a copy of the birth certificate to the address or fax number below. The temporary certificate of live birth is acceptable with your written request, but when you later receive the official birth certificate, you must submit a copy to HMSA. The effective date for the newborn child will be the date of birth.
