If you are like most folks, fall is all about football, leaf peeping (and raking) and Halloween costumes. Between touchdowns and pumpkin picking, make sure you either renew or select a new health insurance plan for 2018. This year’s Open Enrollment Period is November 1, 2017, through January 12, 2018. You must enroll before December 15 to avoid a gap in coverage.
If you bought your 2017 health and/or dental insurance plan through us, there are a couple of options for renewal depending upon the availability of your plan for 2018. Soon, you will receive a notice by mail or by email, as well as in your online account, letting you know your options for renewal, which could include one of the following three options:
A. Your current plan is being offered to you for 2018.
If you want to continue with this plan, arrange to pay the new monthly premium for January no later than December 25, 2017, and you will be automatically renewed. You are welcome to shop for a different plan; but you must enroll before December 15 to avoid being automatically enrolled in your current plan.
or
B. Your current plan is not offered to you for 2018. In some cases, we will suggest a new plan that is most like your current coverage.
If you are satisfied with the suggested plan, you must select and enroll in this plan – by December 15. We will not automatically enroll you. You are welcome to shop for a different plan; but you must enroll in a plan before December 15 to ensure that you are covered beginning January 1.
or
C. Your current plan is not offered for 2018 and you will need to shop for a new plan.
You must enroll in a new plan before December 15 to ensure that you are covered beginning January 1.
