What we are being told now is that Humana is not signing a contract with the state for this 90 day period. However, it appears as though care with OSF is being picked up by Health Alliance. According to the FY11 map, Peoria County has listed Health Alliance HMO.
Also, we are now being informed that you can mail your form in or fax it in and it will still be accepted. The Benefits Choice Enrollment Period has been extended until Monday. Please get these done tomorrow if at all possible, or Monday at the latest.

This whole process has been a complete mess and if you have any questions or need any further help, please feel free to call my office at (309) 690-7373.
