Annual Benefits Enrollment

What's New for 2023?

Medical, Dental and Vision Plan Rates

There will be no increase in employee contribution rates for the medical, dental, or vision plans for 2023.  View rates.

Deductible Increase for the HSA Plan

Due to IRS regulations, the HSA Plan deductible will increase. The deductible for Tier 1 will increase from $1,450 to $1,550 for employee only coverage and from $2,900 to $3,100 for employee + spouse/family coverage (refer to the Medical Plan Comparison for other tier levels).

FSA Maximum Increase

The Flexible Spending Account (FSA) maximum election will increase from $2,750 to $2,850. As a reminder, if you wish to utilize an FSA for your medical expenses, you need to set aside funds by making an election each year; it does not carry over.

Flexible Spending Account (FSA) Reminder

According to IRS regulations, each year you must enroll during your benefits annual enrollment period if you want to participate in either a Healthcare FSA or a Dependent Day Care FSA.

A Flexible Spending Account (FSA) is funded with money you contribute on a pre-tax basis. You can use FSA funds to pay for qualified out-of-pocket health care costs for you and eligible dependents or dependent day care charges.

For 2023, you can contribute between $200 and $2,850 pre-tax annually into the Healthcare FSA and between $200 and $5,000 in a Dependent Day Care FSA. If you are married and file separately, you can contribute up to $2,500 in a Dependent Day Care FSA.

Learn more about FSAs in the 2023 Benefits Guide.

Other Coverage

During annual enrollment, you can also add or make changes to many other types of coverage such as life insurance, short or long term disability, and much more. For information, review the 2023 Benefits Guide.
