The annual health open enrollment period for the health- 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, 2009, for calendar year 2009.
The open enrollment period is the only time during the year in which employees may enroll in the flexible spending plans, the RMSA and the HSA. Knowing how important it is for employees to make the best decisions for themselves and their families, the Office of Human Resources will hold 15 one-hour informational meetings for 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 was sent to campus boxes earlier this week and also can be found (as of Nov. 1) at hr.wustl.edu or medschoolhr.wustl.edu.
