Healthy Boiler

Open enrollment 2022 is right around the corner – October 26 through November 9

Your annual opportunity to select your benefits is coming up later this month. The 2022 benefits open enrollment period begins Tuesday, October 26 and ends at 6 p.m. ET Tuesday, November 9. Choosing your benefits is a big decision each year. Human Resources has shared information on a regular basis since August to help you understand your options, evaluate the plans and prepare to make your 2022 benefit elections.Oct. 26 - Nov. 9As a reminder, here’s what you can expect for 2022 benefits:

  • No premium increase or change in medical plans. The same three consumer-driven health plans (Premier CDHP, Standard CDHP, Limited CDHP), which all include a Health Savings Account (HSA), are available to elect.
  • Enhanced Healthy Boiler portal that’s easier to use, with expanded functionality.
  • New HSA incentive structure, including more incentive activities to earn HSA or HRA contributions via the Healthy Boiler Program. In 2022, employees and spouses can each earn up to $450 in incentives on top of the $200 base contribution from Purdue. Those with employee + children coverage can earn up to $900 in incentives, in addition to Purdue's $400 base contribution.
  • New dental carrier – Delta Dental – with lower premiums and more provider options (Your coverage will remain the same.)

ENROLLMENT  

All of your current benefits will roll forward into 2022, unless you log in to Benefitfocus and make new selections. The Tobacco Survey and Working Spouse Certification must be completed as your answers may impact your premiums. If you do not complete the Tobacco Survey and Working Spouse Certification, you will be charged the tobacco-user additional premium (for both you and your spouse if covered) and the working spouse premium (for your covered spouse). Also, if you want an HSA, HRA or FSA, you must log into Benefitfocus and elect them for the coming year. Tip: Even if you want the same benefits, it’s always a good idea to log in and review your covered dependents on each plan to ensure they’re still accurate. See the “Checklist Do I Need to Enroll” on page 4 of the 2022 Open Enrollment Guide.
