Annual Enrollment 2023

Enroll in benefits for 2023

ACTION REQUIRED!

This year, you MUST complete enrollment in Workday between October 13 and 31 if you are benefits eligible and want to continue, change, add or drop benefits.

Each year, you have the opportunity to enroll in benefits or make changes to your existing choices. This year, elections for our three medical plans with OhioHealthy will NOT carry over for 2023. This is a change from previous years, when benefits carried over without re-enrolling in Workday.

To maintain benefits for 2023, you must go into Workday and submit elections during the enrollment period, October 13 — 31.

Let’s get started!

What’s changing for 2023?

  • In 2023 our three medical plan options will have a three-tier provider network. You and your covered family members will choose which tier to use each time you seek care. Depending on what provider and/or facility you use, your out-of-pocket costs may be different. When using Tier 1 providers and facilities, the annual deductibles will not increase or slightly decrease on all three plan options: High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP), Preferred Provider Organization Plan (PPO) or Preferred Provider Organization Assist Plan (PPO Assist). See Provider Tier chart below.
  • There will be an increase to biweekly premiums for the HDHP and PPO plans.
  • There will be a premium surcharge of $70 per pay period for spouses who are working and eligible for medical coverage through their employer. This surcharge is in addition to the premium cost for whatever plan you elect that includes a spouse: associate + spouse and family plans. Like many other employers, the working spouse premium surcharge is one way to manage ongoing healthcare costs, now and into the future, so that we can continue to provide affordable coverage for our associates.
  • For 2023, associates will receive a $30 per-pay medical plan wellness discount without having to complete a Wellness Screening or online Health Assessment in 2022 — but spouses will NOT receive a discount.
  • OhioHealth Fitness Rewards (gym reimbursement) and Wellness Rewards (CaféWell and cash incentives) will no longer be offered in 2023. This change is due to low associate participation in these programs and recent long-term studies show that these types of wellness programs with incentives do not drive improved health outcomes.
  • If you’re electing the Permanent Life with Long-Term Care benefit (or making changes to your current coverage), there is a new way to enroll. For information on how to enroll, please read the Selerix Enrollment User Guide.

Why are these changes being made?

Healthcare costs continue to rise year after year, and we are weathering a very challenging economic environment. We have invested significant dollars in staffing and responded to associate feedback by providing benefit enhancements like expanding the Education Benefits program and Student Loan Relief Benefit.

We are committed to providing competitive benefits that meet the needs of our associates while managing the high costs of healthcare. This is so that we can provide choice and flexibility in our benefit offerings and continue providing quality healthcare for our associates, our patients and communities.

New offerings in 2023

  • Mental and emotional health support is expanding to supplement our current offerings.
  • New resources are coming to support associates who are starting and raising a family.
