The UAB Benefits Office has begun a step-by-step process of rolling out information regarding UAB’s 2025 benefit selections for eligible UAB, UAB Hospital and UAB Hospital Management LLC employees ahead of this year’s active Open Enrollment period. Open Enrollment for 2025 benefits starts Friday, October 18, at 7 a.m. and ends Monday, November 4, at 5 p.m.

This is an active open enrollment, which means any benefit-eligible employee who does not select a 2025 health care plan option during the enrollment period will not have UAB-provided health care coverage (medical, dental, vision) beginning January 2025.

Benefit plan information for 2025 is being released in weekly installments via articles in the UAB Reporter and other campus communication outlets. Each article will include links back to the UAB for Me portal at uab.edu/hrintouch, where additional information about each topic will be provided as details are finalized. 

In addition, the Benefits Office is hosting virtual information sessions for benefits-eligible employees to learn more about their 2025 benefits. Join HR Consultants and Benefits representatives for an overview of UAB's medical, dental and vision plan options, as well as changes for 2025 and information about voluntary benefits that might be of interest to you. The complete schedule is below.
