Open enrollment is here
Because of the changing situations regarding COVID-19, open enrollment packets are being mailed later than usual. Employees should receive their packets in the next week. Open enrollment materials are available online now. Because of the current situation, premiums will not increase this year; however, plan changes are being made. View the OE Newsletter for information.
WellU options and deadlines
The deadline for completion of WellU requirements has been extended to Aug. 31, 2020. This deadline may be extended further, based on COVID-19 and health care provider circumstances.
As a reminder, WellU requirements are the following:
- General health assessment: Complete the assessment (see instructions below) between July 1, 2019, and June 30, 2020
- Dental cleaning and exam
- Two different WellU wellness activities
An annual physical or wellness exam is NOT required this year but will count as one WellU Wellness Activity.
Departments are encouraged to create department challenges that can provide employees with WellU credit, as well as provide some fun, social interaction for department employees. The University’s Wellness and Integrative Health team is offering assistance with programs, some at no cost to departments. Email wellness@utah.edu if you are interested.
