Benefits season is upon us. Loma Linda University Health employees can make changes to their benefits for the 2018 plan year by going on PeoplePortal starting Nov. 1.
One new and important change for 2018 is that health plan re-enrollment is required for all covered employees. Coverage will terminate Dec. 31, 2017 if re-enrollment is not completed during the open enrollment period.
During open enrollment, annual enrollment us required for Flexible Spending accounts and changes can be made to life insurance.
Employees of BMC, CH, LLU, MC, UHC and USS will have until November 19to submit their elections online. Employees of LLUMC-Murrieta will have until November 15 to submit their elections online. Elections made during open enrollment will take effect January 1, 2018.
LLU employees will have the opportunity to make changes to their health plan during the spring open enrollment period. However, during the November open enrollment period, LLU employees can enroll or re-enroll into the flexible spending accounts.
In addition, LLU employees who are currently enrolled in the Base Plan are eligible to add dependents during this open enrollment period. However, employees enrolled in the Wholeness Plan cannot add dependents until the spring open enrollment period.
Employees can learn more about open enrollment at the upcoming Benefits Fairs Oct. 31 through Nov. 2. Please see the attached flyer form more info.
