Open Enrollment
Welcome to the State Health Benefit Plan’s (SHBP) 2022 Open Enrollment (OE) for the 2023 Plan Year. OE gives you the opportunity to enroll in coverage if you are new to SHBP, or you can review your current Plan Options and make changes to your coverage based on your needs. This information is for active members who are eligible to be enrolled in an SHBP Commercial (non-Medicare Advantage) Plan Option.

Review your virtual Open Enrollment materials
Open enrollment is a very important time of the year, as many employees are re-evaluating their health needs and seeking to protect their financial well-being. SHBP is providing our members with educational benefit information virtually, through webinars and teleconferences so they have a chance to ask questions in a live Q&A format. You can join either a teleconference session or online webinar to learn more about the plan options and any changes.
If you need assistance with enrollment, the SHBP Member Services phone line is staffed with enrollment experts who can provide guidance and answers. Member Services can be reached at 800-610-1863.
We encourage members to review the
SHBP

What if I do not take any action?
If SHBP does not receive an election from you through the website, or by contacting SHBP Member Services, you have made a decision to take the default coverage below:
- Currently Enrolled in a SHBP Commercial Plan Option in 2022: If you are enrolled in a Commercial Option in 2022, you will remain in your current Plan Option and Tier with your current Medical Claims Administrator in 2023.
- Currently Enrolled in TRICARE Supplement in 2022: If you are enrolled in the TRICARE Supplement in 2022, you will remain enrolled in the TRICARE Supplement for 2023.
NOTE: If you paid a Tobacco Surcharge in 2022, it will continue to apply. If you did not pay a Tobacco Surcharge in 2022, you will not pay one if you default coverage. However, if you received a waiver of the tobacco surcharge and your tobacco status has changed, it is your responsibility to notify SHBP immediately.
