Open Enrollment Ends Friday, April 13, 2018

 Open Enrollment is your chance to evaluate your

 current plans and make any changes accordingly.

What's New
1.	Contribution rates are increasing in all medical plans.
2.	Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is now covered as a medical benefit.
3.	Cholesterol medications (statins) will be available for no co-pay at retail pharmacies  if you are between the ages 40 and 75.
4.	Telehealth benefits are available. If your doctor provides this service, a co-payment  will apply.
5.	Any unused Healthcare Flexible Spending Account funds as of April 30, 2019 will  be lost and forfeited, so it is important to elect an amount that you will use between  May 1, 2018 - April 30, 2019.

What You Need to Know As a City of Houston employee, you can access Employee Self-Service (ESS) at any time to view and print out your current benefits. If you do not want to make any changes to your benefit plans except for the Healthcare Flexible Spending Account (HFSA)* during Open Enrollment, you do not need to do anything. You will remain in your current health plan.
