Health Care Open Enrollment for Members at Boeing Nov. 10 thru Dec. 3

Employees at Boeing represented by IAM 751 will be asked to select their health and dental insurance coverage for 2010 during the annual enrollment period, which runs November 10 through December 3. Any changes employees make during open enrollment will go into effect on January 1, 2010. You will receive more information in the mail from Boeing and can make benefit plan changes through your TotalAccess account.

Keep in mind this open enrollment is to complete our transition to a calendar year plan beginning January 1, 2010. If you don't take action during the open enrollment period, your current benefit choices will continue automatically and the new monthly contributions will apply.

IAM members at Boeing in Puget Sound can choose from the following medical plans:
* Regence Selections CCP
* Group Health Cooperative HMO
* Regence Traditional Medical Plan (TMP)

Employees in Puget Sound selecting the Traditional Medical Plan will continue to have their monthly premiums paid in full by the Company.

751 members at Boeing in California have the choice of either Kaiser Permanente HMO (Boeing pays monthly contribution) or the Regence Traditional Medical Plan at $47 for employee only; $94 for employee + spouse or employee + child(ren); $141 for family.

Most employees can also choose between two dental plans: Washington Dental Services Incentive Plan OR Washington Dental Services Prepaid Provider Dental Plan. There are no monthly contributions for dental plan coverage.

An annual enrollment information packet will be mailed to each member’Äôs home. There are many online tools on the ’ÄúYour Benefits Resources’Äù website to help you in reviewing your plan choices. You can also learn about your coverage options, access plan comparisons and provider lists, and make changes by going to ’ÄúYour Benefits Resources’Äù through Boeing TotalAccess. If you don’Äôt take action during the open enrollment period, your current benefit choices will continue automatically and the new monthly contributions will apply. However, even if you are not planning to make a change to your benefits, take this opportunity to:
* Review your 2010 plan options and costs
* Research hospitals and providers
* Ensure that your dependents meet Boeing’Äôs eligibility rules
