As a reminder, the Health Insurance Open Enrollment for State of Connecticut employees ends on Wednesday, September 30, 2020. Any changes you make during open enrollment will be effective October 1, 2020.
There are several important updates this year:
- Individuals currently enrolled in UnitedHealthcare/Oxford will be automatically transitioned to the equivalent Anthem plan effective October 1, 2020 unless they elect to enroll in a different plan. No action is required for those who wish to enroll in the equivalent Anthem plan.
Current UnitedHealthcare/Oxford Plan | Equivalent Anthem Plan |
Oxford HMO | Anthem State BlueCare POE Plus |
Oxford HMO Select | Anthem State BlueCare POE |
Oxford Freedom Select POS | Anthem State BlueCare POS |
- There is a new plan option - Anthem BlueCare Prime Plus POS Plan.
- There is a new centralized benefits website, https://carecompass.ct.gov/
- There is a new Health Navigator tool available via telephone, web, and online messenger chat; this tool is designed to help anyone on the state plan navigate their health benefits, including finding doctors/facilities, answering questions about benefits, and troubleshooting problems.
During open enrollment, you may change medical and/or dental plans, add or drop coverage for your eligible family members, or enroll if you previously waived coverage. You may also enroll in the Health Enhancement Program (HEP), if you have previously waived enrollment.
Information on plan offerings and changes for the upcoming year is available on the Care Compass website - https://carecompass.ct.gov/openenrollment/ and in the 2020-2021 Healthcare Options Planner.
Employees wanting to make changes during this open enrollment period may e-mail benefits@uconn.edu to request a personalized enrollment form through September 30, 2020. If a dependent is being added to insurance, a copy of supporting documentation (i.e. marriage license, long form birth certificate, etc.) is required.
