| While this has been in place for a number of years, we would like to remind you about the Small Employer Open Enrollment Period for fully insured health plans in all states. The Small Employer Open Enrollment Period is the period from November 15 through December 15 each year. During this period, employers that meet the definition of small employer but do not meet the carrier’s participation or contribution requirement will be accepted for a small employer plan with a January 1 effective date. Additionally, select carriers in New York may allow for a December effective date if applicable. Carriers require that employer groups enrolling under the Small Employer Open Enrollment Period submit completed applications after November 15 and before December 15 by noon. All additional carrier underwriting guidelines apply. Contact our group health insurance specialists at (215)355-2121 if you have any questions about this enrollment period. |
