Annual Benefits Enrollment is Open!
It's time to enroll in your benefits! Now through Nov. 11, visit mybmcbenefits.com to learn what’s changing, then head over to mybmcrewards.com to review your current coverage and see if it still meets your needs and budget.
BMC will offer the same medical, dental, and vision options for 2017. Medical and dental copays, deductibles, coinsurance, and out-of-pocket maximums will also stay the same. While there are just a few changes to your BMC benefits for next year, we continue to focus on providing quality health care and tools that encourage healthy behaviors and wise use of health care resources.
BMC provides three comprehensive medical and prescription drug plan choices with free preventive care for you and your eligible dependents: the BCBSTX PPO and HSA plans and the Kaiser HMO (available only in California). If you are in the PPO Plan, this would be a good year to consider moving to the HSA Plan. The 2017 paycheck costs for the HSA Plan will continue to be about one-third the cost of the PPO Plan. Check out MythSmashers to see how we smash all the myths about the HSA that might be keeping you in the PPO. Or see how the plans compare in a real-life situation.
Don't Forget
Remember to review who you have listed as your beneficiaries for any insurance coverage you have elected.
