UAB’s annual open enrollment for benefits will begin 7 a.m. Oct. 18 and conclude 5 p.m. Nov. 4. Eligible employees can choose among dental, vision and health insurance plans, plus voluntary plan options and tax-deferred spending accounts for health and dependent care for 2025.
This is an active open enrollment, which means any benefit-eligible employee of UAB, UAB Hospital and UAB Hospital Management LLC who does not select a 2025 health care plan option by Nov. 4 will not have UAB-provided health care coverage (medical, dental and vision) beginning Jan. 1, 2025.
During the enrollment process, employees will be required to add or update their emergency contact information. An employee’s emergency contact information will be kept confidential and will only be used in the event of an emergency.
All the information employees need to make their selections are collected in the open enrollment toolkit in the UAB for Me benefits portal. This includes plan details, educational pieces, FAQs, decision-making tools and other resources that can help you make selections.
Employees who want assistance sorting through the options have several choices to help them select the one best suited for their household:
- A plan comparison feature is available during the online open-enrollment process.
- HR consultants or HR Benefits representatives will be available in individual schools/ departments for your convenience. A schedule of the dates and times is available in the UAB for Me benefits portal under the Quick Links section and Open Enrollment Toolkit.
- Employees may contact their HR consultant or the UAB Benefits office, benefits@uab.edu or 934-3458.
All elections will be effective Jan. 1, 2025, and new premiums for medical, dental and vision coverage and any voluntary benefits selected will be reflected in the January 2025 payroll.
