    • In order for an employee to be eligible, he/she must be considered a full time employee working at least 30 hours per week.
    * Physicians who are retired and otherwise Dues Exempt, are only required to pay State Dues.

Not sure if you are eligible? Use the PIPA Participating Employer Eligibility Tree (document on the PIPA Document Tab) to find out. In order for an employee to participate, the physician member MUST participate in the insurance plan.

Enrollees in the group practice DO NOT have to all be on the same plan.
