2027 Open Enrollment
Open Enrollment: Oct. 29 – Nov. 20, 2026
Make the most of your 2027 benefits
Open Enrollment is the perfect time to review your benefit options and make sure you have the right coverage for you and your family.
With healthcare expenses remaining unpredictable, supplemental health insurance plans can provide an added layer of financial protection. Accident, Critical Illness, and Hospital Indemnity Insurance are designed to help with eligible out-of-pocket costs when unexpected medical events occur.
As you enroll for 2027 coverage, take a fresh look at how your medical and supplemental benefits work together. The right combination of plans may help provide valuable financial protection while giving you confidence that you’re prepared for life’s unexpected moments.
