BENEFITS OPEN ENROLLMENT

What important things do I need to know about this year’s open enrollment?

• This is a passive enrollment year. Meaning, you do not need to do anything to your benefits enrollment if you want everything to stay “as is”. The ONLYexceptions to this are if you are enrolled in our Health Savings Account program. This program has government stipulations stating that you MUST enroll in this plan annually every year. If you select passive enrollment, you will still see the new rates starting with your first paycheck of 2022.

• We are switching dental providers for the premium plan only from Delta Dental to United Health Care (UHC). If you were enrolled in the premium dental plan last year and choose the passive enrollment, you will automatically be switched to the premium UHC plan.

• Prescriptions costs will go up slightly in 2022. gone up slightly in cost. A Tier 1 prescription this past year (2021) under UHC Care cost $10. It will now cost $15 in 2022. Additionally, we added a Tier 4 prescription level for UHC for some of the more brand name, expensive prescriptions.

• To avoid employees from using the Emergency Room as a means to receive preventative care or primary care (in which they should be seeing their Primary Care Physician), we have increased our Emergency Care Room fee from $300 to $500 for most plans.

• There is NO cost increase in our supplemental life insurance and disability insurance coverage!

• Deductions will be seen in all 26 paychecks for bi-weekly employees and 52 checks for weekly employees.
