This information presented here is undergoing revisions. More changes are coming. Starting Sept 1, this webpage and Partners for Health website will provide more information about all your benefits options, including dental, vision, flexible benefits, disability and life insurance.
Annual Enrollment for Benefits
Each year, annual enrollment is your chance to choose benefits or make changes that will be effective the following Jan. 1 through Dec. 31.
Annual enrollment period this year is October 3- 17, 2025.
We encourage you to review your BlueCross BlueShield and Cigna network options each year. It’s important to note that for MOST benefits*, if you don’t want to make changes, you don’t have to do anything during Annual Enrollment. If you don’t make changes, you will be enrolled in the same plan options for medical, dental, vision, and short-term disability products you are enrolled in now.
*Most flexible spending accounts require you to enroll each year. You are not required to enroll in health insurance. If you do not enroll, no premium dollars for health insurance will be deducted from your paycheck.
Go to the Partners for Health website and click How to Enroll in Your Benefits to add, remove, or make changes to your insurance coverage.
