2025 Open Enrollment

Open Enrollment: Oct. 31 – Nov. 22, 2024

Now’s the time to take a good look at all your coverage options and consider where you might want to make changes.

As medical costs continue to increase, the supplemental health plans can provide the protection you need to help cover unpaid medical expenses. Accident, Critical Illness and Hospital Indemnity (hospitalization) Insurance can bridge that gap in the event of a large, unexpected expense.

This year, as you enroll for 2025 coverage, consider how all your plans work together. There might be a combination of medical and supplemental plans that saves you money while providing protection if the unexpected happens.
