To be eligible, you and your domestic partner must meet the following requirements:

• You have entered into a state-recognized same- or opposite-gender civil union or registered domestic partnership, or
• You have not entered into a state-recognized same-or opposite-gender civil union or registered domestic partnership, and you and your partner:

• ~Are financially interdependent 
• ~Are each other’s sole domestic partners

Hospital Indemnity Protection Plan

Hospital Indemnity insurance provides a lump sum payment if you receive covered hospital care and are confined to a hospital. You can choose from a High or Low plan option, which determines how much you will receive for an eligible claim.

The rates for this coverage can be found when you enroll in your benefits. See further information here.

Accident Protection Plan

A new plan tier is being added for the Accident Protection plan. There will be a High plan and a Low plan. While both plan options cover the same services, the High plan pays a higher benefit for covered injuries and care. You can see the coverage tiers here.

If you are currently enrolled in the Accident Protection Plan and you do not make an election during Annual Enrollment, your coverage will carry over to 2024 and you will be enrolled in the High plan. 

Kindbody

Kindbody provides fertility and family-building services and offers egg/embryo/sperm freezing, IVF, and IUI. You’ll receive best-in-class care at clinics from a dedicated Care Navigation Team who will guide you through your journey and give you peace of mind, every step of the way.

You are eligible for this solution if you are enrolled in a Baker Hughes UHC medical plan. Baker Hughes’ in-network infertility coverage covers 80% of infertility services after the deductible at Centers of Excellence only, with a $20,000 lifetime maximum. There is no coverage out-of-network.

How to Enroll

Follow these instructions to enroll in your 2024 benefits.

If You Don’t Enroll in Health & Protection Benefits

If you don’t enroll in Health & Protection benefits by Friday, October 20, you’ll have the same benefits with the same coverage levels you have today. The exception is that you have to make an active election to contribute to the Health Care FSA, Dependent Care FSA, and/or the Health Savings Account or your account contributions will default to $0 in 2024.

If you are currently enrolled in the Accident Protection Plan and you do not make an election, your coverage will carry over and you will be enrolled in the High plan.

Please note: If you plan to enroll in Medicare while you are actively employed, you will not be eligible to contribute to an HSA.

Annual Enrollment is the time of year to make changes to your Health & Protection Benefits. Unless you experience a Qualified Status Change (like having a baby or getting married), your next opportunity to enroll or make changes to your benefits will be next year during Annual Enrollment. ‍

401(k) Plan

You can review and make changes to your 401(k) anytime during the year. No action is required during Annual Enrollment. Annual Enrollment is a good time to consider contributing at least 5% in order to get the full company match, review your investment allocation, and make sure your beneficiaries are up to date.
