UAB’s annual open enrollment for benefits began Oct. 20. Eligible employees can choose among dental, vision, and health insurance plans, plus voluntary life and accidental death and dismemberment insurance and tax-deferred spending accounts for health and dependent care for 2024.

This is an active open enrollment, meaning any benefit-eligible employee who does not select a 2024 health care plan option during enrollment will not have UAB-provided health care coverage (medical, dental, vision) beginning January 2024.

Vision and dental rates once again will stay flat in 2024; however, there will be premium rates and plan design changes to medical for 2024. You can find links to articles covering these offerings below to enable you to make the best choice for your household.

Review all the information you need in the open enrollment toolkit on the UAB for Me benefits portal anytime. The deadline to opt into your benefits is Nov. 6 at 5 p.m.
