During the annual open enrollment period, you may make changes to your health or voluntary life insurance coverage, without incurring a “life status change.” This year will be a passive open enrollment period which means that you ONLY NEED TO complete the online enrollment process IF you are:
Adding/dropping coverage for medical, dental, or vision
Adding/dropping coverage for covered dependents for medical, dental, or vision
Electing a Health/Dependent care Flexible Spending Account (FSA) for 2022
Choosing to contribute to a Health Savings Account (HSA) for 2022
GREAT NEWS! There will be no premium increases or plan design changes (copays, deductibles, and coinsurance) for the College’s health insurance plan and Capital BlueCross will continue to be our health insurance carrier.
ID Cards: You will receive a new medical insurance card in the mail from Capital BlueCross if you are a participant in the medical plan for 2022. If you participate in the dental plan, but not the medical plan for 2022, you will not receive a new dental insurance card in the mail from Capital BlueCross unless you made a change to the dental plan.
Employees making any changes to their benefits must do so through the open enrollment online portal by end of day on November 19, 2021. Please note this is the ONLY time of year that you can make changes to your coverage without a “life status change.”
If you elected to contribute to either a FSA or HSA in 2021, this contribution election WILL NOT continue for the 2022 plan year unless you actively select a new contribution election for 2022 using the open enrollment online portal.
Be sure to review the 2022 Open Enrollment Brochure for details on the Medical Plan Provider Changes: Voya Supplemental Program (an enhancement from what is currently the Colonial Life Supplemental Program) and the provider changes with the Home Delivery and Specialty Drug Programs that are embedded in your Medical Plan with Capital BlueCross.
