Open Enrollment 2021

May 17-June 1

Open Enrollment is held once annually to allow members to make a change to their Medical benefits. This might include changing plans or adding dependents onto your coverage. This year’s Open Enrollment period will be held May 17 – June 1, 2021 with an effective date of July 1, 2021. This date coincides with the annual rate change. Plan outlines and your district-specific out-of-pocket costs are available from your district office.

In order to accommodate the safety concerns of our members, we are again utilizing the online self-service system to submit benefit changes during Open Enrollment. Information on how to access this system will be provided to you by your school district prior to Open Enrollment. We urge all members to take advantage of this online method!

If you are unable to access the online enrollment, you may still submit a “Group Membership Enrollment/Change” form to your district office. After it has been verified for completion, your district will forward it to NCSMIG. Please take your district’s time for processing into consideration so you do not miss the deadline.

Also, please make sure your application is complete, including social security numbers and/or any required paperwork, such as certified copies of marriage, adoption or birth certificates. Certified copies are those that are stamped and signed by a county or court official. “Keepsake” copies, typically received from the hospital or officiant, are not official legal documents and will not be accepted.

Health Screening Update

We had hoped to reinstate our annual health screening program this spring, but we will unfortunately be postponing until next school year with the optimism that the landscape of the pandemic has shifted enough to allow this program to operate safely. We apologize for any inconveniences and will announce tentative dates for next year once they are determined.
