KEY POINTS FOR OPEN ENROLLMENT 2019

Premium Plan (90/10)

The Diocese of Tucson will continue to offer only one (1) medical plan during open enrollment.  We will be offering the 90/10, UHC Choice Plus EPO Plan.  If the employee took a proactive approach to personal wellness and participated in the Biometric Screening/Wellness during the Wellness Initiative, the employee will receive a $50 per month automatic credit to be applied each month resulting in $25.00 premium for employee only coverage. 

• Employees who chose not to participate in the Biometric Screening/Wellness during the Wellness Initiative, effective 07/01/2019 employees will have a premium of $75.00 per month for employee only medical coverage. 

NEW:

RetaEnroll – Online Enrollment

During the Open Enrollment period, employees must go online to the RetaEnroll website (log in at www.retatrust.org) and complete the enrollment process regardless of whether or not employees are making changes to any existing coverage.  All benefit elections must be made during this period, including waiving medical coverage.  Medical coverage must be waived on an annual basis.

If employees do not complete the process by the close of Open Enrollment, May 17, 2019, your medical coverage will default as mandated by federal law to “Employee Only” coverage for 2019-2020. If employees are continuing an FSA election, they must re-enroll in FSA per IRS regulations.
