The annual health open enrollment period for the health/dental or dental-only plans, the health- and child-care flex spending plans, the Health Savings Account (HSA) and the Retirement Medical Savings Account (RMSA) will be from Nov. 1-30.
Enrollments and changes to these plans made during the open enrollment period and before the Nov. 30 deadline will be effective Jan. 1, 2010, for calendar year 2010.
During open enrollment, action is required to:
• Enroll or change health/dental or dental-only plans;
• Enroll or continue HSA;
• Enroll or continue a health flex-spending plan;
• Enroll or continue a child-care flex-spending plan; and
• Enroll or change an RMSA.
This is the only time during the year that employees may change health plans and/or coverage and may enroll in the flex-spending plans, HSA and RMSA.
No action is required to continue current health/dental or dental-only plans or to continue current contribution to the RMSA.
Knowing how important it is for employees to make the best decisions for themselves and their families, the Office of Human Resources will hold 20 one-hour informational meetings for employees from Nov. 3-24 in locations on all four campuses and two West County sites as well as a conference call with WUSTL’s Rolla Heart Care Institute employees.
“These meetings provide employees with the opportunity to receive a further explanation of all of the benefit information included in the Health Open Enrollment brochure and to ask their general and specific questions,” said Tom Lauman, director of benefits, who will be the presenter at all sessions.
The meeting schedule was included in the open enrollment brochure that will be sent to campus boxes Wednesday, Oct. 28, and also can be found (as of Nov. 1) at hr.wustl.edu or medschoolhr.wustl.edu.
