Open Enrollment Begins Today

November 1, 2022 

Dear Faculty and Staff, 

The Open Enrollment System through the Employee Self-Service portal opens today (Tuesday, November 1) and continues through Tuesday, November 15. This is your annual opportunity to review and make changes to your benefits for January 1, 2023. Detailed information summarizing benefit plans and monthly insurance premium rates are included in the 2023 Benefits Highlights Brochure, or you can learn more by consulting ALEX, an interactive online tool designed to serve as your personalized benefits counselor. 

During Open Enrollment through the Employee Self-Service portal, you can:

• Enroll in or change your medical, dental, or vision plan options
• Enroll or disenroll dependents
• Enroll or re-enroll in the Health Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA) if enrolling in PPO 1 or PPO 2 medical plan, or the Limited FSA and Health Savings Account (HSA) if enrolling in PPO 3 HSA medical plan
• Enroll or re-enroll in the Dependent Care FSA

• Re-enrollment in the FSA is required annually. Plan carefully to ensure you do not forfeit any funds at the end of the 2023 reimbursement period.

All Open Enrollment changes need to be completed in the Employee Self-Service portal by the end of the day on Tuesday, November 15 in order to be effective January 1, 2023. Even if you decide not to make any changes to your benefits, you should complete the online Open Enrollment process to avoid the Tobacco Premium and Spousal/LDA Premium, if applicable. 

Register and attend a virtual information session. If you are unable to join us for an information session, you can review the slide deck from the information session at LUC.edu/hr/openenrollment/  

Save $600 on your medical premiums in 2023. Register and complete your biometric screening and Health Power Assessment by December 2. Register at empower.health (Client Code: loyolaehs).
