This is active enrollment

Every benefits-eligible employee must complete enrollment in UKG, even if you want to keep the same benefits or decline coverage.

If you currently have coverage and do nothing, it will end October 31, 2026

What you need to do

  1. Check your home ZIP code

    Check your ZIP code to see whether the Blue HPN 1-2-3 Plan is available where you live.

  2. Check your doctors and hospitals

    If the Blue HPN 1-2-3 Plan is available to you, search Blue HPN providers and hospitals to make sure yours are in the network.

  3. Enroll in UKG by October 16

    Log in to UKG and review your benefits, dependents and beneficiaries before you submit.

Which 1-2-3 Plan will you see?

Your home ZIP code determines which 1-2-3 Plan appears in UKG.

Blue HPN 1-2-3 Plan

Available only in certain ZIP codes

Uses a smaller group of doctors and hospitals, so check your providers before choosing it.

Blue Options 1-2-3 Plan

Shown when Blue HPN isn't available in your ZIP code

Uses the broader Blue Options network.

Also important: the HDHP and PPO plans continue to use the Blue Options network.

Log in to UKG and select the Open Enrollment tile.

What is the Blue HPN 1-2-3 Plan?

It's a 1-2-3 medical plan available only in certain home ZIP codes. It uses a smaller group of doctors and hospitals than the Blue Options network.

What if Blue HPN isn't available where I live?
