Open Enrollment begins today and ends on Tuesday, November 24 at 5 p.m. This is your once-a-year opportunity to review benefit offerings at UC San Diego, determine which plans will be most beneficial for you and your family for 2021, and make the appropriate changes. Perhaps you're happy with your benefit selection and do not plan to make changes; if so, you should review your Benefits Summary page at UCPath Online for accuracy.
UCnet has information and tools to help you decide which plan is best for you. It also includes details about UC Care, a Preferred Provider Organization (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.

We know that our employees have choices about where to receive their health care. Now more than ever, staying healthy is key — and good health begins with convenient primary care. That’s why we’ve expanded our network of primary care locations to the neighborhoods where you live and work. You and your family can access our nationally ranked, high-quality care when and where you need it most.

Open Enrollment is also the time for you to enroll or re-enroll in a Flexible Spending Account if you want to continue your Health FSA (for healthcare expenses for you and your family members) or Dependent Care FSA (for childcare or eldercare expenses) in 2021. Remember, your current FSA will not roll over into 2021.
