2025
Open Enrollment

for Piedmont Cartersville and Piedmont Macon team members

What’s new for 2025?

Our focus is on empowering you and your family to be well—physically, financially and emotionally—to help you and your loved ones when you need it. We’re committed to making a positive difference in every life we touch by providing quality care and meaningful support to our team members.

  • For coverage in our MyHealth360 medical plans:
    • The Piedmont Transition Choice Plan and Piedmont Transition Exclusive Plan will be replaced with the Piedmont Choice Plan and the Piedmont Exclusive Plan for 2025.
    • With expanded Tier One and Tier Two networks, most team members can enroll in the Piedmont Exclusive Plan and lower their out-of-pocket costs for health care services in 2025—all while having access to a broader network of providers and more generous coverage.
    • Some Piedmont Cartersville and Piedmont Macon team members may see higher MyHealth360 premium increases than other Piedmont locations due to the one‑time shift from the transition medical plans.
    • Prescription drugs will be administered directly by Express Scripts to keep coverage affordable for you and Piedmont. A new Cigna ID card will be required to fill prescriptions in 2025. You’ll also receive advanced notice if any of your medications are impacted.
    • Enhanced access to fertility, pregnancy and postpartum benefits will be available through Progyny (beginning Jan. 1, 2025) with coverage for IVF, IUI, fertility preservation and support for menopause and midlife care.
  • We’re introducing new value-add benefit options available only through your local benefits counselor:
    • Legal support through MetLife offers unlimited consultations on most legal matters. You must actively enroll during Open Enrollment for coverage to begin on Jan. 1, 2025.
    • Identity Theft Protection through Norton LifeLock provides privacy monitoring, security for your personal devices and up to $3 million of coverage for each eligible family member.
    • Pet Insurance through MetLife covers dogs, cats and other animals with policies up to $25,000 and offers access to routine care services and 24/7 telehealth.
  • Access to Medicare navigation support through SmartConnect helps Medicare-eligible team members and their dependents with plan comparisons, selection and enrollment—at no cost to you.
  • Expanded Spouse Life Insurance coverage will now allow team members and Piedmont-employed spouses to cover each other.
  • When enrolling in Child Life Insurance, you’ll need to specify which dependents you’d like to cover.
  • Review the 2025 Open Enrollment Checklist and lab schedules (Cartersville and Macon).
  • If you’re enrolled in any MyHealth360 medical plan, you MUST re-enroll to receive coverage through Piedmont in 2025; if you don’t enroll, you’ll default to no coverage for next year.
  • You must enroll in a Health Care or Dependent Day Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA) if you want to have funds available for 2025.
  • If you’re currently enrolled in Dependent Child Life Insurance or plan to enroll, you must actively elect this benefit to have coverage in 2025.
  • Think about your Supplemental and Spouse Life Insurance coverage. If you’re increasing your coverage by more than one times your annual base salary, you must complete and submit the Evidence of Insurability (EOI) form sent to your Piedmont email following Open Enrollment to be considered for coverage.
  • Consider enrolling in any value-add benefits: Hospital Indemnity, Critical Illness, Whole Life, Accident, Legal, Identity Theft Protection and Pet Insurance (all of these benefits are available only through your local benefits counselor).
  • Decide if you’d like to participate in Piedmont’s PTO Cash-In program, if eligible (payable in March 2025).

A final confirmation statement will be emailed to you after Open Enrollment ends if you successfully submitted benefit elections in PeopleSoft ESS.
