Benefits enrollment

Whether you're a new hire, newly eligible due to a change in position or scheduled hours, experiencing a qualifying life event, or reviewing your coverage during Annual Enrollment, you'll find the tools and resources you need to understand your options and choose benefits that support you and your family.

Benefits enrollment can occur when you:

  • Begin employment as a new team member
  • Become newly eligible based on your position or hours worked (time-sensitive changes must be made within 31 days)
  • Experience a qualifying life event (QLE), such as marriage, birth, adoption or loss of other coverage (time-sensitive changes must be made within 31 days of the event)
  • Participate in Annual Enrollment, which occurs each fall

Highlights for 2027

Medical plan updates

New this year: All eligible team members may choose from any of our three medical plans. Each offers a different balance of cost of coverage, out-of-pocket expenses and provider choice.

  • BSWH EPO (formerly SEQA/EQA)
  • BSWH PPO (formerly Premium PPO)
  • BSWH HDHP (High-Deductible Health Plan)

Each plan offers a different combination of costs, coverage and provider access. As you review your options, be sure to consider which plan best fits your healthcare needs and budget.

If you don't take action, your current medical coverage will transition automatically. If you're currently enrolled in a medical plan and don't make a new election, you'll be enrolled in the corresponding 2027 plan at your current coverage level. Medical ID cards will be mailed and should be received in early January 2027.

Reminders

  • Flexible spending accounts require a new election each year if you wish to participate.
  • Download the MyBSWHealth app to access your medical ID card, schedule appointments, access virtual care and more.

Supporting your mental health and well-being

Your well-being remains important to us. You have access to a variety of mental health and well-being resources, including:

Premiums

Hourly pay ranges used to determine medical premiums are changing. Your pay range affects how much you pay for medical coverage, not which plan you may choose. Review your personalized 2027 costs during Annual Enrollment.

  • Less than $28.01 to Less than $30.01
  • $28.01 to $51.00 to $30.01 to $54.00
  • $51.01 and above to $54.01 and above

Dental and short-term leave rates will increase slightly for 2027.

Medical and prescription

Comparing medical and prescription coverage

As you compare your options, keep in mind that the main differences are the provider networks and how the deductibles, copays and coinsurance may impact your out-of-pocket costs.
