Health Benefits Open Enrollment Begins Today!
Dear Faculty and Staff,
Open Enrollment for health benefits begins today, October 11, 2022, and will continue through 5 p.m. on November 4, 2022. Employees who are not making health benefit changes do not need to take action. However, if you wish to continue a healthcare/dependent care flexible spending account, you must re-enroll for coverage. Also during this time, employees can enroll in and/or make changes to their health benefits; changes will become effective on January 1, 2023. In addition, 2023 is a reset year for the State of Maryland Wellness Incentives Program. Click here for additional information wellness incentives and to find out what is new for 2023.
Open Enrollment will continue to be online in the SPS Workday system. Employees should visit the Human Resources website for more information on the SPS Workday system and for detailed instructions on accessing your Workday account. The State of Maryland will send important emails via the SPS Workday system (stateofmaryland@myworkday.com) regarding Open Enrollment.
We are pleased to announce that all existing plans and vendors will remain in place for 2023. However, the State has passed along minimal rate changes that will affect the medical, prescription, and dental plans in 2023. CareFirst, United Healthcare, and Kaiser medical plan rates will increase approximately five percent. CVS Caremark prescription plan rates will increase 10 percent for 2023. Dental plan rates will increase between 4.5 and 5 percent, depending on the plan and coverage level. State of Maryland Accidental Death and Dismemberment and Life Insurance rates will not increase in 2023. Open Enrollment rates and materials are posted on the HR Website.
Employees enrolled in CareFirst PPO and EPO plans who have concerns about coverage with Johns Hopkins should contact CareFirst’s dedicated Johns Hopkins inquiry call center at 1-833-378-2110. The information we currently have can be found on our Open Enrollment webpage.
Human Resources will host live virtual open enrollment information sessions on October11, October 20, and October 28. Employees who are unable to attend a live session will be able to view a recording that will be posted on the Virtual Resources page on or around October 28.
