Posted: Tuesday, December 3, 20132014 Health Insurance Rates and Option Transfer Period
Health insurance rates for 2014 have been established and are available at www.buffalostate.edu/offices/hr/benefits.asp#health.
Employees who wish to change their health insurance plan for the coming year have until Tuesday, December 31. We encourage you to complete and return the option transfer form to Cleveland Hall 410 as soon as possible. This will avoid retroactive premium adjustments and should allow you to receive new health plan identification cards closer to the coverage effective date, January 2, 2014.
"Choices," a summary of the health insurance plans for 2014, is now available online. You may want to review this before you decide whether to change insurance carriers or to remain with your current carrier for your health insurance coverage.
Representatives from Blue Cross Blue Shield of WNY, Independent Health, and the Empire Plan will be on campus today, December 3, from 11:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. in E. H. Butler Library 210 to answer questions about current health insurance plans and anticipated changes in coverage for 2014.
No action is required if you wish to keep your current health insurance option.
For questions, please call the Employee Benefits Office at ext. 4821.
