Plan Year 2021 Benefit Fair Conference Calls

Instead, we are offering four conference calls where you can speak with representatives from PEIA, the Health Plan, FBMC, Humana, and Securian. You may call in and ask any questions you have or simply listen to the brief explanation of the changes we’ll present at the beginning of each call. If you have questions about open enrollment, please call in and join us for one of these Benefit Fair Conference Calls.
