HELPFUL HINTS
Read through this guide to familiarize yourself with what decisions you have to make. Think
about your current benefit plans. Are they still working for you? Have you experienced any
changes or do you anticipate any changes that might make a different plan more suitable?
Gather additional information. Use the websites and phone numbers in the
Plan Contacts
section to see which doctors and other healthcare providers you can use under the different
plan choices. If you have dependents on your plan that live out of state, check on provisions for
coverage of members away from home.
