We have been informed that a letter went out to employees letting them know that the open enrollment packages will be mailed shortly. Many people have told us that they don’t bother to open the envelopes because they don’t want to change their plans. We have also been getting calles from members who were shocked that their were changes to their plan last year. They only realized that as they went to the doctors or hospitals in 2009.
