The UC's annual open enrollment for health and welfare plans begins Nov. 1 and runs through Nov. 30. Those who are affected will receive a special brochure in late October that will include plan rates, eligibility rules and highlights of changes. Detailed open enrollment information is available at atyourservice.ucop.edu. All changes will be effective on January 1, 2006. During open enrollment, one can:
- enroll in Supplemental Disability without a statement of health. This is a one-time opportunity to enroll.
- change to a different medical plan or add eligible family members.
- enroll in or opt out of medical, dental and vision plans or cancel coverage for family members.
- enroll or re-enroll in the Health Care Reimbursement Account and Dependent Care Reimbursement Account.
Also, all insurance carriers will be available to answer questions on health plans at the annual Benefits and Wellness Faire from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Nov. 2 in Freeborn Hall.
