Open Enrollment for State of Maryland health benefits will end this Friday, November 8th at 5:00pm.

Take action now before it’s too late! Please visit the HRSTM Open Enrollment website for resources from the State, health vendors, as well as the slides and recording the Information Session that we conducted on October 16th.

What's New for 2025?

The State will have a new prescription vendor! MedImpact will replace CVS Caremark as the State’s Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM).

All employees who are enrolled in prescription coverage will receive new MedImpact prescription cards at their home address around December 15th.

Wellness activities reset for the 2025 and 2026 calendar years.

Healthcare FSA maximum increased to $3,200 for the 2025 calendar year.

During Open Enrollment, employees can enroll, cancel, or make changes to their health benefits, with all changes becoming effective on January 1, 2025. Employees will receive alerts regarding Open Enrollment directly from the State of Maryland via the SPS Workday system.

Open Enrollment events are available in the employee’s online SPS Workday account. Instructions for logging into Workday and resetting your password can be found here.

For employees who are adding new dependents to their health benefits during Open Enrollment, please review the required dependent documentation and start gathering the documentation now, before it’s too late. If the dependent documentation is not correct, the State will not add the dependent to the employee’s benefits. The correct dependent documentation must be attached to the employee's Open Enrollment event by Friday, November 8, 2024, at 5:00pm.

To ensure timely receipt of vendor communication, including new prescription cards from MedImpact, we advise employees to confirm their home address is correct by logging into their myUMBC Profile (under About, and select View More). Employee address changes must be made in the employee’s Payroll Online Service Center (POSC) account.
