Click Here For 2007-08 Health Insurance Information (BCBS)

Open Enrollment: August 25 - September 11, 2008

One of the most valuable benefits that Rogue Community College offers, is the exceptional health insurance coverage provided to eligible employees. Effective October 1, 2008, Rogue Community College will be offering two plan options through Aetna for employees who are eligible to participate in the group health insurance: Open Choice PPO $250 Plan and Open Choice PPO $750 Plan. The health insurance plans include medical, prescription, vision, dental, and orthodontic insurance. Chiropractic, Acupuncture, and Naturopathic benefits are also included.

Due to the change in insurance carriers from Regence BCBS to Aetna, open enrollment meetings are required this year for all eligible participants. At this meeting you will learn about the process involved in selecting our new health insurance carrier, plan options, and details specific to each plan.  You will have an opportunity to have all of your questions answered at the meeting.  Please plan to attend and hold your questions until that time. Plan summaries, forms, and rates are listed below. The open enrollment meeting schedule is as follows:
