Open Enrollment 2027

A Message from our CEO

As we prepare for Open Enrollment and the 2027 plan year, I want to personally thank you for everything you do to support our members, clients, and communities. Your dedication, compassion, and commitment are what make MTM successful, and we remain dedicated to providing benefits that support you and your family.

Like many organizations across the country, MTM continues to face significant increases in healthcare costs. Rising prescription drug expenses, increased utilization of high-cost specialty medications, large medical claims, and ongoing inflation continue to place pressure on employer-sponsored health plans. Despite these challenges, we have worked diligently to balance the rising cost of healthcare with our commitment to offering comprehensive, competitive benefits.

For 2027, we are introducing several enhancements to our benefits program, including a new wellness program through H&H Health Associates that rewards employees and covered spouses for completing simple preventive health activities with reduced medical plan premiums. We are also enhancing our vision and voluntary benefit offerings, adding a new home infusion therapy benefit, and implementing an innovative approach that allows us to continue providing access to GLP-1 medications for weight management for eligible participants enrolled in the Select EPO plan.

These changes are designed to support your health and well-being while helping MTM maintain a sustainable benefits program for years to come. I encourage you to take time during Open Enrollment to review all available resources, understand the changes for 2027, and select the coverage that best meets the needs of you and your family.

Thank you for being part of MTM. We recognize and value the important contributions our employees make every day and remain committed to providing benefits that support your health, well-being, and financial security. We hope the enhancements and changes to our 2027 benefits program provide meaningful value to you and your family, and we encourage you to take full advantage of the resources available to help you live a healthier life.

Sincerely,

Alaina Maciá
President & Chief Executive Officer
MTM, Inc.

Open Enrollment 2027 Overview

Open Enrollment for 2027 will be held November 2, 2026, through November 13, 2026.

During Open Enrollment, all benefit elections and changes must be completed through Workday. All changes made during Open Enrollment will become effective on January 1, 2027.

 

Important Enrollment Reminders

  • Current elections for most benefit plans will automatically carry forward into 2027 if no changes are made.
  • Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) and Health Savings Account (HSA) contributions do not carry over and require annual enrollment.
  • Open Enrollment is generally the only opportunity each year to make changes to your benefits unless you experience a qualified life event.
  • We strongly encourage you to review all benefit options, costs, and plan changes before making your elections.
  • Verify your beneficiaries! This is the perfect time to either add a beneficiary to your company provided life insurance plan or make changes! You can change your beneficiaries throughout the year, but Open Enrollment is the perfect time to make sure your beneficiaries are up-to-date.

 

Take Time to Review Your Benefits

Your benefit elections affect both your healthcare coverage and your financial well-being. We encourage you to carefully review all plan information, compare your options, and evaluate your family’s needs before Open Enrollment ends on November 13, 2026.

All changes outlined on this site become effective January 1, 2027.

Medical Premium Adjustments

Healthcare costs continue to rise across the country, and MTM has experienced significant increases driven by:

  • Higher prescription drug costs
  • Increased utilization of specialty medications
  • Large medical claims within our health plans
  • Ongoing inflation and rising healthcare expenses

 

While MTM continues to absorb a substantial portion of these costs, medical contribution rates have been updated for 2027 to help ensure the long-term sustainability of our health plans.

To view the 2027 bi-weekly employee premiums, log into Workday and type in the search bar ‘2027 Employee Premium’.

A New Approach to Wellness

We are pleased to offer biometric screening administered by H&H Health Associates at no cost to our union employees and covered spouses as part of our commitment to supporting health and well-being.  Beginning during Open Enrollment, employees will be able to take advantage of this comprehensive biometric screening at a LabCorp location in your area.  During Open Enrollment we MTM will be offering onsite biometric screening clinics at Austin North on November 5 and Austin South on November 6 for employees and covered spouses.

The wellness program is designed to be simple, convenient, and rewarding. The biometric screening provides valuable information about key health indicators such as blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, and other risk factors. Understanding these results can help you take proactive steps to improve your health and access support resources when needed.  The goal of the program is not only to reward healthy behaviors but also to help you identify potential health risks before they become more serious concerns.

Instructions for scheduling and completing your biometric screening can be found on the H&H Wellness Screening Flyer.
