Mark your calendar for Open Enrollment, April 23 - May 11. This is your chance to keep, waive or enroll in medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance and savings plans. It's important to learn about these plans to make the smart call on your selections.

Here's what's new:

• The amount faculty, staff and regular retirees pay for care will not increase for the 2018-19 plan year. Early retirees may see small increases in dental premiums.
• CU Health Plan - Exclusive members will no longer be restricted to three regional networks (north, south and central). A statewide network will be put in place, providing greater access to doctors and specialists.
• Emergency department copays for CU Health Plan - Exclusive, Extended and Kaiser will increase to $250, which will be waived if you are admitted to the hospital.
• Out-of-pocket limits for CU Health Plan – Exclusive, Extended and Kaiser are increasing to $7,350 for individuals and $14,700 for families. CU Health Plan – High Deductible will remain the same.
