Open enrollment for 2019 employee benefits — through Nov. 15

Loma Linda University Health’s annual open enrollment period began Nov. 1 and closes Nov. 15. This is the time of year for employees to make choices and enroll/reenroll for health plan coverage, life insurance and Flexible Spending Accounts.

Employees should visit PeoplePortal to review their past selections and make any desired changes for calendar year 2019.

Health plans

Reenrollment is not required* unless you want to add or delete a family member or change plans. The plan choices are the Wholeness Health Plan (requirements apply) or the Base Plan.

*Exception: LLU Medical Center – Murrieta employees must re-enroll if they wish to maintain coverage beyond Dec. 31, 2018.

Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)

Employees who desire a Flexible Spending Account must enroll each yearduring open enrollment, or within 30 days of a qualifying life event.           

Life insurance

All employees with an active life insurance plan should ensure their beneficiary information is updated at this time and review options for coverage changes.

Demographic data

When you enroll in medical and dental benefits, your demographic data from PeoplePortal is transferred into LLEAP, the electronic medical record system.  

It is critical this data is correct and current, because it not only affects your Human Resource Management records, but also affects information for your health providers, medical record, health plan claims, etc.
