Not completing open enrollment results in costly consequences for employees

All benefits-eligible employees who do not take advantage of their opportunity to choose a 2016 medical plan or to opt out of Purdue medical coverage for next year will be enrolled automatically in the same medical plan in 2016 as they had in 2015. If they're currently opted out of Purdue medical coverage, they'll have no Purdue medical insurance in 2016.

A live presentation will held 2-3:30 p.m. in Stewart Center, Room 279, and a walk-in lab will be held 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. in Freehafer Hall, Room 1-5.
