3. UAB's Open Enrollment is active. What does this mean?

It is becoming standard practice with employers offering multi plan choices to hold an active open enrollment. An active open enrollment requires employees to take action on their healthcare plans each year during the annual open enrollment. Employees must re-elect their medical, dental, vision, health care spending account and/or dependent care spending account for the new plan year. This helps ensure employees review their coverage options and choose a plan best for them and their families.
