A few quick things to know:
#1: Make sure your contact information is up to date
Before, during and after Open Enrollment, we’ll send employees postcards, important disclosures and plan information in the mail, so this is a good time to confirm your mailing address is correct in the employee portal.
You’ll also want to confirm your phone number is correct — the enrollment tool requires dual factor authentication, and having a correct phone number on file will help ensure that you’re able to verify your access quickly and efficiently.
Check your contact information through the employee portal.
#2: Look up your current plans
Prepare your roadmap ahead of time by comparing your current coverage and think about your needs. To get started, look up your current plans and check your dependents.
Update life insurance: Select Review from the Benefits Summary page for the policy you want to change and you’ll be able to update the beneficiary or beneficiary designation for that policy.
Add or remove a dependent: Reach out to the Employee Services Benefits team at benefits@cu.edu [6] or call 303-860-4200, option 3, to discuss possible changes during Open Enrollment or a qualifying life event.
#3: Sign up for Open Enrollment text reminders
Don’t miss your window to enroll in, update or change your health coverage. Sign up to receive Open Enrollment text reminders via RAVE Alerts. These alerts must be opted into, so make sure you sign up even if you already receive emergency alerts and IT outage notices from CU.
Once you enroll in these optional reminders, you’ll get three brief text messages each year during Open Enrollment reminding you to take action before it’s too late.
Sign up for reminders before enrollment begins. [7]
