Posted: Monday, December 5, 20112012 Health Insurance Rates and Option Transfer Period
Health insurance rates for 2012 have been established and are available at www.buffalostate.edu/offices/hr/benefits.asp#csea.
Employees who wish to change their health insurance plan for the coming year have until Friday, December 30. We encourage you to complete the option transfer forms 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 5, 2012.
"Choices," a summary of health insurance plans, is now available online. There are two versions: one for settled contracts, another for unsettled contracts. You may wish to review the appropriate document before you decide to change insurance carriers or to remain with your current carrier for your health insurance coverage in 2012.
Representatives from Community Blue, Independent Health, and the Empire Plan will be at the Health Benefits Fair on Thursday, December 8, in E. H. Butler Library 210 from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. to answer questions about current health insurance plans and anticipated changes in coverage for 2012.
Please call Human Resource Management at ext. 4821 with questions or for additional information.
