Open Enrollment is your annual opportunity to make changes to your dental coverage, including changing plans and adding or removing dependents.

Spring is finally here, and so is Open Enrollment! Open enrollment begins May 1st and ends May 31st, 2024.

Retirees will be receiving a copy of the Cigna Dental Options Planner in the mail, but here at CSEA, we wanted to make sure retirees knew their options.

There are four options that are offered (which have not changed since the previous Open Enrollment Session)—Basic, Enhanced, Cigna Dental Care DHMO, and Total Care DHMO.

If unable to access carecompass.ct.gov to view benefit information, you can call 833-740-3258 for benefit assistance.

Deciding what plan is best for you is a personal decision. We recommend that you compare the plans based on the services you will most likely be utilizing.

It’s also important to be mindful of whether or not you plan to use providers in or out of the network. Talking to your dentist about planned procedures is also a great step when making these decisions.

If you are happy with your plan, then there is no need to submit new forms; your current selections will just carry over, effective July 1st.

If you have any questions regarding changes you want to make to your Dental Plan, Cigna Representatives can be reached at 833-740-3258.

And, as always, Kevin is ready to assist with any issues that may arise and may be reached at ksullivan@csea760.com or (860) 951-6614 x118.
