Health Insurance Option Transfer Period Ends December 15

Health insurance rates for 2018 have been established and are available on the Employee Benefits website. 

Employees who wish to change their health insurance plans for the coming year have until Friday, December 15. We encourage you to complete and return the option transfer form (PDF, 66.2 KB) to Cleveland Hall 410 as soon as possible. This will avoid retroactive premium adjustments and should allow you to receive new health plan identification cards closer to the coverage effective date of December 28, 2017.

The 2018 “Choices” booklet (PDF, 1.7 MB), a comparison of the health insurance plans, is now available online. You may wish to review this information before you decide whether to change insurance carriers or remain with your current carrier for your health insurance coverage.

Representatives from the Empire Plan, BlueCross BlueShield of WNY, and Independent Health will be on campus Thursday, December 7, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in Butler Library 210 to answer questions about current health insurance plans and anticipated changes in coverage for 2018.

No action is required if you wish to keep your current health insurance option.

Please call the Employee Benefits Office at 878-4821 with questions.
