Retiree Annual Open Enrollment
Oct. 28 – Nov. 11
Annual Enrollment is your opportunity to make changes to your retiree medical coverage for the upcoming year. You may change between the HMO and PPO plans. You can drop a dependent, but you may not add any new dependents. Annual enrollment guides were mailed to retirees’ home addresses the week of Oct. 26. You can also use the quick links on the right side of this page to access the information.
For those who retired after 01/01/2020 please note that the cost sharing is 65%.
The 65% cost share effective 01/01/2022 remains the same in 2027 with no future increases planned at this time (Medical Plan Rates Schedule table is on page 7 of the 2027 Retiree Annual Enrollment Guide).
This webpage will not address Medicare’s annual open enrollment or related topics. These questions should be directed to Via Benefits at 1-855-241-5721.
