Annual Benefits Enrollment Begins
November 4
The countdown to Annual Benefits Enrollment has started. This is your once-a-year opportunity to make changes to your benefits. Annual enrollment runs from November 4 to November 15 this year.
To save you and BMC money, we’re welcoming new health care partners for the HSA and PPO medical plans, the dental plan and the Employee Assistance Program. We’re also introducing a new telemedicine benefit through Teladoc.
BMC continues to revise our plans to comply with the changing health care reform law requirements. If you have coverage under one of BMC’s medical coverage options, you are following the new rules of the health care reform law. So when our benefits enrollment begins, just select your benefits as you’ve done in the past.
Dental plan enhancements, PPO medical plan changes, and lower costs for supplemental insurance are just a few of the other changes you should know about. Get the details about what’s new and different about your 2014 benefits here.
Even if you don’t think you need to change your coverage for the coming year, enrollment is required every year for Flexible Spending Accounts and the Health Savings Account.
