Beginning July 1, the University of Colorado is increasing its investment in quality health care for CU’s benefits-eligible employees by $56.5 million for the new benefits plan year. Open Enrollment, from April 20 to May 8, is the annual window for faculty and staff to make changes to benefits coverage, outside of qualifying life events. Monthly health plan premiums will vary. Faculty and staff should examine CU’s benefit plan premiums and cost structures, coverage and networks before choosing plans that best fit their needs.
