OPEN ENROLLMENT FOR PARTICIPATING MEDICARE-ELIGIBLE RETIREES WILL TAKE PLACE WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 15 TO SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 2025.

The current Benistar plan administered through United American will be discontinued December 31, 2025. However, there will be four new plan options for Medicare-eligible retirees, which will all be administered by Benistar. Expand the drop down options below to review the different plan options.
