No more flexibility as of Nov. 1

The annual enrollment period for the optional insurance coverage offered through the NC FLEX benefit program comes to a screeching halt Oct. 30.  NC FLEX's insurance options include cancer, life, vision and dental insurance, and a supplemental medical plan that broadens coverage for visits to doctors' offices and inpatient hospital stays. (Faculty and staff opting for the flexible spending plan must re-enroll during each annual enrollment period.) For those already enrolled in an NC FLEX insurance option, the annual enrollment period is the one time of the year to drop or add coverage for a dependent. The NC FLEX Plan has a synopsis of what's new on its website.
