The Cigna healthcare plan for currently enrolled employees and dependents will terminate on December 31, 2024; therefore, you must enroll by the December 16, 2024 enrollment deadline.

If you are currently enrolled in Flexible Benefits, you do not need to re-enroll. Your current benefits will continue for the 2025 plan year. There will be no plan design changes for the 2025 plan year. There will be slight rate increases; therefore, premium increases will automatically be applied.

All benefits-eligible part-time employees are provided the opportunity to enroll in our benefits program. In this program, you may select the benefits you need for yourself and your eligible dependents. The premium for these benefits WILL NOT be deducted from your paycheck.

For general questions regarding the 2025 open enrollment, please call the FBMC Service Center at 1 (855) 632-7748, Monday – Friday, 7 am to 7 pm EST.
