What is Annual Enrollment?

Annual enrollment is the time period each year when you’re allowed to start, stop or change your health insurance plan. Even if you don’t make changes during Annual Enrollment, it’s always good to review the benefits because network and benefits may change, and it can impact you. If eligible, during Annual Enrollment you can:

• Choose your health insurance option
• Choose or change your health insurance carrier (BlueCross BlueShield
of TN or Cigna) and network
• If eligible, enroll in or cancel health insurance for yourself or your eligible
dependents
• Enroll in, cancel or transfer between dental options (Cigna or MetLife)
if offered by your agency
• Enroll in, cancel or transfer between vision options (Davis Vision Basic
or Expanded) if offered by your agency
• Enroll in or cancel voluntary accidental death and dismemberment
(AD&D) coverage (state plan only)
• Apply for, cancel, increase or decrease voluntary term life coverage
amounts (state plan only)
• Enroll in Short Term and/or Long-Term Disability insurance (state
employees only)
• Enroll in Short Term Disability Insurance (higher education employees
only)
• Enroll in flexible benefits (state and higher education employees only)
