Open Enrollment for 2023 benefits is earlier this year. Open Enrollment begins Oct. 4 and ends Oct. 17. A lot has changed over the past year, and that could include your benefit needs. Now is a good time to review your current benefit plans to make sure they still meet your family’s needs. To review your current benefits, log in to My VUMC Benefits using your VUMC ID and password.
Open Enrollment is passive this year, meaning if you don’t want to make any changes to your benefits plans, you do not need to enroll. All of your 2022 benefit choices, except for flexible spending accounts (FSA), will automatically roll over for 2023. If you want to enroll in an FSA for 2023, you will need to log in to My VUMC Benefits.
