What you need to do

Be sure to make your plan selections for 2024 coverage OR decline coverage by October 27.
Employees will need to provide documentation during open enrollment, such as marriage and birth certificates in order to enroll spouses and dependents (see entity-specific details below).
For Worcester-based, Marlborough Hospital and HealthAlliance-Clinton Hospital caregivers: You will only need to provide this documentation if you’re enrolling in benefits for the first time or adding a new spouse or dependent.
For Community Healthlink and Harrington caregivers: Since this is your first enrollment as part of the system, you must provide this documentation for your spouse and dependents at the time of enrollment in order for them to have coverage.
