Open Enrollment

Our annual Benefits Open Enrollment period for 2027 is November 2–13. This opportunity allows you to make changes to your benefit elections. After the enrollment period closes, only those with a qualifying life event will be able to modify elections for 2027. 

Employees will enroll through Workday. We offer a comprehensive package of benefits, and there’s something for everyone. If you have questions, reach out to us and we’ll be happy to guide you.

You can also contact the Anthem Member Hotline at 844-614-3102.

Enrolling through Workday

All benefit elections will be submitted through Workday. 

Action Required: All employees must log in to Workday to review and submit their 2027 benefits elections — even if no changes are being made.

Important: After submitting your elections, Workday may prompt you to complete additional steps based on your selections. These may be:

  • Verifying a dependent(s)
  • Completing the annual spousal attestation
  • Completing the annual Health Savings Account (HSA) attestation
  • Completing the annual waiver attestation
  • Submitting Evidence of Insurability (EOI) if you elect more than the Guaranteed Issue (GI) amount for voluntary life insurance

All steps must be completed by the deadline Friday, November 13, 2026 for Open Enrollment and within 30 days of hire date or qualified life event. If you do not complete all required tasks in Workday, you may not receive the coverage you intend to elect.

Please take a moment to read the important updates below about changes to our medical and dental plans, completing your enrollment in Workday, and other key benefit enhancements.
