Reminder to enroll for 2014 benefits

Just 4 days left! Reminder to enroll for 2014 benefits!

Open Enrollment for 2014 benefits ends at 11:59 p.m. on Oct. 31 and all benefits-eligible employees should enroll. If you don’t enroll, you may lose valuable credits or pay for coverage you do not want.

If you don’t enroll, you will have the following default benefits for 2014:

• Keep your same health plan option, except former BlueCross BlueShield members will move to Aetna Select option. If you waived health coverage for 2013, your waiver will remain in effect for 2014.
• Miss out on a $20/month credit toward premiums, if you and your covered family members are tobacco-free
• Pay a $100/month coverage fee unless you designate that your spouse or same-sex domestic partner who is on the Vanderbilt Health Plan has no employer health care coverage options

Dental Plan

• Have the same coverage for 2014 that you had for 2013

Vision Plan

• Have the same coverage for 2014 that you had for 2013

Short-Term Disability

• Eligible employees will be enrolled automatically in both levels of short-term disability: no-cost base coverage, paid by Vanderbilt, and “buy-up” coverage, paid by the employee (non-union staff & house staff)

• Have the same coverage for 2014 that you had for 2013 (union staff)

Flexible Spending Accounts

• Have no money designated for your Health Care or Dependent Care FSAs for 2014, even if you had money in your accounts for 2013

Pharmacy

Accidental Death & Dismemberment

• Have the same coverage for 2014 that you had for 2013
