UTA UT Care Annual Enrollment

Medical Plan For Retirees

UT CARE^TM Medicare PPO (UT Care)

Overview

UT CARE Annual Enrollment for the 2024 plan year will be from November 1-15, 2024. During UT CARE Annual Enrollment, you may make changes to your UTCARE coverage only, such as adding coverage, dropping coverage, adding dependents, or removing dependents. Any changes made during the UT CARE annual enrollment will become effective January 1, 2024. UT Care Annual Enrollment is passive, meaning if you do not want to make any changes, no action is required. Your current insurance coverage will continue to the new benefit year if no action is taken. If you previously opted out of UT Care and would like to enroll in UT Care during the November 1- 15 annual enrollment, please contact Benefit Services at 817-272-554 or benefits@uta.edu to enroll. All other UT Care Annual Enrollment changes must be made in the My UT Benefits portal during the Annual Enrollment period.
