SchoolCare was founded in 1995 as the New Hampshire School Health Care Coalition by bringing together associations representing public entity management and labor groups in the state. The Coalition was formed in response to issues of providing employee health care, including quality, choice, cost control and service that public entities were facing. Today, over twenty-five years later, SchoolCare is still a well-regarded resource for public entities facing these same issues.

Your Guide to Open Enrollment Season
Published May 4, 2021
Open enrollment season comes around each year - and for good reason. It’s the one time when you can make changes to your health plan elections without a qualifying event. Qualifying events include marriage, divorce, loss of other coverage, adoption, and the birth of a child.
Open enrollment is YOUR opportunity to make sure each elected health benefit fits your care needs. Here’s a guide to help you stay on track this plan year:
1. Know Your Options
- Ask your employer if there will be a virtual open enrollment meeting available for your group. These are hosted by a SchoolCare Group Relations Specialist and provide a great opportunity for live Q & A.
- Watch a pre-recorded Open Enrollment Webinar for a quick overview of benefits and updates. Located above is a drop-down menu where you can choose your employer and see the plans available to you.
- Read through the 2021-2022 Enrollment Guide to understand all benefit options available through the SchoolCare/Cigna medical plans.
2. Determine What Will Work Best For You and Your Family
- Think about your health history and care needs that might have changed since last year. What kind of coverage might you and your family need for the upcoming plan year?
- Click here to access your group-specific Benefit Summaries and Enrollment/Change Form.
- Determine if a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) is available to you. Use this election worksheet to plan for next year’s health care expenses.
- If your employer offers multiple plans from which to choose, consider the monthly cost out of your paycheck as well as overall out-of-pocket costs when comparing options.
3. Take Action if You Want to Enroll for the First Time or Make Changes
- Gather dependent information, including social security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, emails, and phone numbers.
- Click here to access your group-specific Benefit Summaries and Enrollment/Change Form.
- Complete your Enrollment/Change Form and submit it to your HR office by May 28th.
- Set a reminder to complete your confidential Health Assessment at myCigna to earn Good For You! Well-Being Program incentives and activate your Choice Fund, if applicable.
