Annual Enrollment
It’s that time again — Annual Enrollment is October 26 – November 6, 2026. This is your once-a-year opportunity to review your healthcare needs and select the benefits that are right for you and your family. Review what’s new, what’s changing, and what to do during this year’s Annual Enrollment.
Review Your Benefits
This year, enrollment is passive. That means if you do not make any changes, your current elections will automatically roll over into the new year — except for the Health Savings Account (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs). You must actively enroll in the HSA or FSAs each year to participate.
Please note: With the elimination of UnitedHealthcare as a medical carrier option for 2027, any employees enrolled in a UnitedHealthcare medical plan for 2026 who do not select a medical plan during Annual Enrollment will be automatically rolled over into an equivalent Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield plan for 2027. Learn more on the What’s Changing page.
