How to Choose a Health Plan

Open enrollment is just around the corner and ASHA staff will be selecting which of our three health plans are the best fit for themselves and their families for 2015. To make the decision process a bit easier and more transparent, we created this decision making tree. 

We've also revamped our plan for open enrollment meetings to follow along the same lines as the decision tree. We'll be holding a brief overview meeting and then staff members can chose to attend any combination of the following sessions. They'll each be offered more than once and include a presentation and a panel discussion with representatives from our insurers and staff. 

• Securing Your Financial Future with an HSA
• Caring for Your Children
• Planning for Medical Expenses in Your Retirement 
• Receiving Care from Providers Outside the Network
• Protecting Your Income When You Can't Work

We'll also hold a separate meeting for retirees. Staff nearing retirement are welcome to attend. We hope everyone will seize this opportunity to make a well-informed decision.
