Open Enrollment begins in October!

If you currently receive your benefits from the Chamber and BSI, Inc. please expect to receive information from Independence Blue Cross and Benefit Services, Inc. regarding the process throughout the month of October.

What Is Open Enrollment?
Open Enrollment is your once-a-year opportunity to make changes to your current benefit choices and to review which family members/employees you are including on your health plans. The open enrollment renewal packet distributed in October includes information regarding any changes to benefits or costs of the benefit plans. Changes you request during open enrollment will take effect January 1. The plan year begins on January 1 and continues through December 31.

Please be aware that decisions made during Open Enrollment are generally binding for the entire plan year. An individual may not make any changes until next year’s Open Enrollment period unless he or she has a Qualified Life change (e.g., marriage, birth, adoption, etc.) and notifies Benefits Services, Inc. of such a change within 30 days from the date of the event.

What information will I receive?
Prior to the open enrollment start date, typically in October, you will receive a letter which will explain the Open Enrollment process. Soon after, you’ll receive a Renewal Packet which will include current plan rates, proposed rates for the new year, and alternate plan options for your consideration.

Benefit Services representatives will be available to assist you with any questions you might have before and during the Open Enrollment period.

Please contact us with any questions at benefits@greaterphilachamber.com or call customer service directly at 215-790-3737.
