Open Enrollment is the time of year where employees may:
- Change their Medical and/or Dental plans
- Add/Drop coverage for eligible dependents (Spouse, Child, Stepchild, etc.)
- Enroll if you previously waived coverage
- Opt out of the Health Enhancement Program (HEP) if you no longer wish to participate. Please note, employees who opt out of HEP, or are non-compliant, will be charged $46.15 bi-weekly in addition to their bi-weekly medical plan charge. Those who opt out or are non-compliant will also have an in-network deductible of $350/person or $1,400/family. *CT Partnership Plan medical is not subject to HEP.
