Open Enrollment has begun! Through 5 p.m., Tuesday, Nov. 26, you can enroll or make changes to your benefits — just choose your location from the dropdown on the Open Enrollment website.
Highlights of this year’s Open Enrollment include moderate changes in premiums for UC’s medical plans (with some members even seeing decreases) and a couple of important medical plan changes — the termination of Western Health Advantage and a new drug formulary for CORE, UC Care and UC Health Savings Plan. Open Enrollment is also your opportunity to enroll in UC’s new Supplemental Health Plans, with coverage that complements your medical and disability plans.
Make sure to read your Open Enrollment booklet and visit the website to learn all about your choices for this year.
Important reminders
Even if you’re happy with your benefits and don’t plan to make a change, make time for a few important steps:
- Enroll or re-enroll in a flexible spending account (FSA). Your other benefits will continue if you don’t take action, but you must re-enroll each year to continue your FSA.
- Review all of your plan options to make sure you’re still enrolled in the best benefits for you and your family.
- While you’re signed in to your benefits account, make sure your personal information is up-to-date and complete.
