Dear Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce & Better Business Bureau Insurance Members:

The benefit open enrollment season is upon us again!  Now is the time to make changes to your current plan or enroll if you are not currently participating for a January 1^st, 2023 effective date.  We have great plans available through Excellus BlueCross BlueShield, MVP Healthcare, and Guardian.  The deadline to submit paperwork for setting up a new plan or changing between plans is November 15^th, in order to ensure accurate billing and enrollment. [Changes may be submitted up until December 1^st, but may not accurately reflect on your first invoice]

If you are not in a group and have individual medical coverage, please contact us directly for more information.

If you are not making any changes to any of your benefit plans, the only thing you need to complete is an AGIF for your Excellus Medical.

If we do not hear from you we will assume no changes to your plan offerings.
