Faculty and staff eligible for Ohio State medical benefits will have access to a helpful resource during Open Enrollment: myBenefitsMentor. This tool models projected medical and pharmacy expenses based on anticipated health care needs for 2020. myBenefitsMentor is now available in Employee Self Service.
In addition, those enrolled in an Ohio State medical plan prior to August 1, 2019, will receive a myBenefitsMentor statement at their home address in mid-October.
These resources can provide a summary of projected 2020 medical and pharmacy costs for each plan option available as well as help estimate their contribution to a Health Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA) for 2020. A Health Care FSA allows employees to set aside pre-tax dollars that can be used to reimburse eligible health care expenses for themselves and their dependents.
Open Enrollment for 2020 benefits is November 1-14, 2019. Join an Open Enrollment webinar or sign up for a benefits forum at https://hr.osu.edu/oe/forums/.
