Start preparing for enrollment now.

Open enrollment is your annual opportunity to review and make any changes to your benefit elections - both for you and for your eligible dependents. 

WHAT YOU CAN DO NOW
Even though the enrollment portal doesn't open until Monday, May 5, there are some steps you can take now to be ready-to-go when the three-week enrollment window opens.

  • Review Eligibility
    Make yourself aware of the specific eligibility requirements for enrolling yourself or your dependents in a Hospitals and Clinics benefit plan. Review those requirements  (current employee login required). You can even start gathering accurate information - such as names, dates of birth, and Social Security numbers - to enroll your dependents when the portal opens on May 5.

Visit the  for all the details.

  • Find your preferred providers and facilities
    Since there are changes to providers and facilities within each network every year, it's important that you take a moment to research each network and ensure your preferred providers and facilities are still covered in the network of your choice - even if you weren't planning to make any enrollment changes.

Open Enrollment at a Glance

  • We're offering new voluntary benefits this year: Critical Illness, Accident, and Hospital Stay! There will be a live webinar dedicated to providing more info on these options on May 8, from 12pm to 1pm. Stay tuned for access details!
  • If you do nothing during open enrollment, your current network and coverage will remain the same next year as it was this year... except for FSA participants. You must enroll each year during open enrollment to have an FSA (Flex Spending Account).
  • Any benefit changes you make during enrollment are effective July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026.

All enrolled participants will receive new benefit ID cards at the end of June 2025. Each enrolled member of your household will receive their own card. Please discard all old ID cards on July 1, 2025. 

This Year’s Coverage Plan Design
Each year, our UUHC Benefits team focuses on affordability, simplicity, and a range of options in the medical, dental, and vision coverage we offer. Some specific enhancements to this year's plan include:

  • Medical and mental health care deductibles are now combined into a single deductible, for ease and simplicity in meeting the deductible
  • The out-of-pocket maximum (or, the maximum amount a covered employee will ever have to pay out-of-pocket) now includes a combination of medical, mental health, and pharmacy costs that a covered team member/their eligible dependents spend
  • New voluntary benefits are available! Critical illness, accident, and hospital stay coverage are offered this year, in various amounts.
