2023-2024 Health Insurance Open Enrollment for Postdoctoral Research Associates
The annual Postdoctoral Research Associate Health Insurance Open Enrollment period will be held from May 1, 2023 through May 26, 2023. During open enrollment, you may change dental plans, add or drop coverage for your eligible family members, or enroll in a medical and/or dental plan if you previously waived coverage.
Any dental plan changes will be effective July 1, 2023, and any medical/prescription plan changes will be effective September 1, 2023.
The new Quantum Health resource (replacing Health Navigator) is available via telephone, web, and online messenger chat; this tool is designed to help employees navigate their medical/dental benefits, including finding physicians/dentists/facilities, answering questions about benefits, and troubleshooting issues.
