Open Enrollment
October 9-20
The system closes at 11:59 pm Eastern
A. Register for an Open Enrollment Webinar
The benefits team will host four (4) webinars where you can learn about what’s changing for next year and to answer any general questions you may have. Choose a session that works best for your schedule. A session will be recorded so you can access it later.
B. Do I have to enroll?
It is always a good idea to review your coverage, whether you intend to make changes or not. If you don’t make any changes, you will be automatically enrolled in your current coverage with the exception of the tax-advantaged accounts (Flexible Spending (FSA), Health Savings (HSA) and commuter/parking accounts). If you are currently participating in any of the following tax-advantaged accounts and want to continue to do so next year, you must make an election for 2024, even if the amount you are contributing is the same as your 2023 election.
- Note for 2023 Cigna enrollees — If you are enrolled in Cigna this year, and take no action during Open Enrollment, you will be enrolled in the same national PPO plan under Anthem’s broader BlueCare network at the same coverage level for 2024.
