Healthy Families Program - A healthier tomorrow starts today!

Open Enrollment 2009

(Posted on 5/5/09)

Each year, Healthy Families allows you to change your health, dental, and vision plans for any reason. This is called "Open Enrollment." Open Enrollment begins on April 15th and ends May 31st.

Healthy Families will send you either an Open Enrollment postcard or a packet.

Open Enrollment Postcard:

If your plans are still available and your premium will not change, we will send you a postcard with information about Open Enrollment. Even though you receive a postcard, you can still change your health, dental or vision plan. After you receive the postcard, if you want to change your plans, call Healthy Families to have a packet sent to you. Healthy Families will pre-print your information on the Open Enrollment packet. The pre-printed Open Enrollment packet will list the plans that you can choose and the premium amounts for the plans.

If you use the blank transfer form, please make sure you complete the entire form. It is important that you identify your Family Member Number, choose a plan, and sign the transfer form.

Open Enrollment Packet:

If any of your plans will not be available or your premium will be changing, you will receive a packet that lists the health, dental, and vision plans that you can choose.

When you get your Open Enrollment packet, is very IMPORTANT that you review it because:

  • Your plan may no longer be available or
  • Your monthly premium may have increased.

If you want to switch your health, dental, or vision plan because your monlthy premium will increase, you must turn in your packet by May 31st. If your transfer is approved, your start date with the new plan will be July 1, 2009.

If your plan is no longer available, you must choose another plan. Make sure Healthy Families receives your Open Enrollment packet by May 31st. If you don’t select a new plan, Healthy Families will choose one for you. The start date with a new plan will be July 1, 2009.
