Helpful Tips To Consider Before You Enroll
Do you plan to enroll an eligible dependent(s)?
- If so, make sure to have their social security numbers and birthdates available. You cannot enroll your dependent(s) without this information.
Have you recently been married/divorced or had a baby?
- If so, remember to add or remove any dependent(s) and/or update your beneficiary designation.
Did any of your covered children reach their age limit for this year?
- If so, they may no longer be eligible for benefits, unless they meet specific criteria
REMINDER: if you wish to participate in a Flexible Spending Account and/or Health Savings Account in 2025, you MUST make an active election each year. Prior elections do not carry over.
Open Enrollment (Passive)
Annual enrollment is your opportunity to learn about the 2025-2026 benefits, review your current coverage and choose the best options for you and your family. Please review this virtual benefit guide to learn more about our benefits offerings.
This annual enrollment will be a "passive open enrollment", which means if you do not make your benefit elections by Friday, April 18th you will remain in the same plan as your current benefits for the 2025-2026 plan year.
Open Enrollment is the one time of year when you can update your elections without experiencing a Qualifying Life Event (QLE). The elections that you make will remain in place until April 30, 2026 unless you notify HR within 30 days of your QLE to be eligible to make new elections.
Attend the Education Session to learn more about ou benefits programs:
November 10th 6:00 am - 7:00 am MST / 8:00 am - 9:00 am EST
A recording will be available to you if you are unable to attend one of these sessions.
The Benefit choices you make during your initial enrollment or annual open enrollment remain in effect for the entire year.

Medical & Prescription
[Client Name] offers a medical plan through [Carrier].
A PPO option offers the freedom to see any provider when you need care. When you use providers from within the PPO network, you receive benefits at the discounted network cost. Most expenses, such as office visits, emergency room, and prescription drugs are covered by a copay. Other expenses are subject to a deductible and coinsurance. The HDHP is similar to the PPO Plan in that you have the option to choose any provider when you need care. However, in exchange for a lower per-paycheck cost, you must satisfy a higher deductible that applies to almost all health care expenses, including those for prescription drugs. All expenses are your responsibility until the deductible is reached, with the exception of preventive care, which is covered at 100% when you visit a physician in the network. Once the deductible is met, you are responsible for coinsurance for medical expenses and a copay for prescription drug expenses. An HMO gives you access to doctors and hospitals within the HMO network. But unlike PPO plans, care under an HMO plan is covered only if you see a provider within that HMO’s network.
Utilizing In-Network providers will allow for the highest level of coverage. In-Network providers agree to accept [Carrier] contract rate as the final charge and the member is not balanced billed.
Looking for more details about how items are covered? Please refer to the formal Summary of Benefits and Coverage (SBC) below.
A virtual visit lets you see and talk to a doctor from your mobile device or computer. When you use one of the provider groups in our virtual visit network, you have benefit coverage for certain non-emergency medical conditions. Costs must be paid by you at the time of the virtual visit and will apply toward your deductible and out-of-pocket maximum.
WHEN CAN I USE A VIRTUAL VISIT?
When you have a non-emergency condition and:
- your doctor is not available;
- you become ill while traveling;
- When you are considering visiting a hospital emergency room for a non-emergency health condition.
*Your covered children may also use Virtual Visits when a parent or legal guardian is present for the visit.
Examples of Non-Emergency Conditions:
- Bladder infection
- Seasonal flu
- Sinus
- Sore throat
- Stomach
- Rash
- Bronchitis
- Diarrhea
- Fever
- Pink eye
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The first time you use a Virtual Visits provider, you will need to set up an account with that Virtual Visits provider group. You will need to complete the patient registration process to gather medical history, pharmacy preference, primary care physician contact information, and insurance information.
Each time you have a virtual visit, you will be asked some brief medical questions, including questions about your current medical concern. If appropriate, you will then be connected using secure live audio and video technology to a doctor licensed to deliver care in the state you are in at the time of your visit. You and the doctor will discuss your medical issue, and, if appropriate, the doctor may write a prescription* for you.
Virtual Visits doctors use e-prescribing to submit prescriptions to the pharmacy of your choice. Costs for the virtual visit and prescription drugs are based on, and payable under, your medical and pharmacy benefit. They are not covered as part of your Virtual Visits benefit.
*Prescription services may not be available in all states.

A Health Savings Account (HSA) is a tax-free savings account that is owned by you, it is 100% vested from day one, and lets you build up savings for future needs. The funds may be used to pay for qualifying healthcare expenses not covered by insurance or any other plan for yourself, your spouse, or tax dependents. You decide how much you would like to contribute, when and how to spend the money on eligible expenses, and how to invest the balance.
To be eligible for an HSA, you must be enrolled in a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP).
UNDERSTANDING YOUR HSA
- Pre-tax contributions are deducted through payroll and deposited into your HSA account
- You can use your HSA available funds to pay for qualified medical expenses tax-free
- HSA funds can be used for non-eligible expenses but will be subject to regular income taxes and a 20% excise tax penalty
- Unused funds remain in your account for future use and roll over each calendar year
- HSAs remain with you even if you change health plans or companies. If you open an HSA and later become ineligible to make contributions, you can still use your remaining funds
- You can change your HSA contribution at any time during the plan year for any reason.
MAINTAINING RECORDS
To protect yourself in the event that you are audited by the IRS, keep records of all HSA documentation and itemized receipts for at least as long as your income tax return is considered open (subject to an audit), or as long as you maintain the account, whichever is longer.
HSA funds may be used for non-eligible expenses but will be subject to regular income taxes and a 20% excise tax penalty.

Accident Insurance
A serious injury can cost you a lot of money – not only in medical bills but in things like income from lost work hours. Some injuries are minor, but others are debilitating and require significant medical care. If you get hurt, accident insurance pays you money that you can use to cover personal expenses, bills, and out-of-pocket medical costs. Accident Insurance can pay a set benefit amount based on the type of injury you have and the type of treatment you need. It covers accidents that occur on and off the job. And it includes a range of incidents, from common injuries to more serious events.
Who Gets Paid? You get paid!
- When you are paid a benefit from Accident Insurance, your health insurance company pays your doctor or hospital, but your Guardian Accident insurance pays you.
- You can use the money however you want.
Examples of what's covered
- Accidental Death coverage for Employee, Spouse, and Child
- Ambulance
- Concussions
- Hospital Admission
Hospital Indemnity Insurance
Hospital indemnity insurance can cover some of the costs associated with a hospital stay, letting you focus on recovery. Being hospitalized for illness or injury can happen to anyone, at any time. While medical insurance may cover hospital bills, it may not cover all the costs associated with a hospital stay.
What Does it Cover?
- If you are admitted to a hospital for a covered sickness or injury, you'll receive payments that can be used to cover all sorts of costs, including deductibles and co-pays, travel to and from the hospital for treatment, childcare service assistance while recovering, and much more.
