Update: Annual Benefits Open Enrollment Period

Open Enrollment begins tomorrow, October 25, 2018, and ends on Tuesday, November 20, 2018, at 5 p.m. This is your opportunity to review benefit offerings at UC San Diego and evaluate which plans will be most appropriate for you and your family for 2019.

UCnet offers information and tools to help you decide which plan is best for you. It also includes details about UC Care, a PPO with a broad network of providers, and UC Blue & Gold, a Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) with a custom network of providers created exclusively for the University of California.

UC San Diego believes that good health begins with good primary care. With more doctors in more locations and more options for same-day visits, UC San Diego primary care faculty physicians provide a full range of services for children, families, adults and seniors. As a UC San Diego employee, you can be assured that if you choose UC San Diego Health, you will receive completely confidential clinical care. If you would like more information regarding UC San Diego primary care services and physicians, please visit https://health.ucsd.edu/primarycare.
