Open enrollment for government health insurance
The Department of Finance announced Monday, Oct. 18, 2021, that the open enrollment period for the CNMI Government Group Health and Life Insurance Trust Fund will be from Oct. 25, 2021, to Dec. 10, 2021, for coverage effective Jan. 1, 2022.
Gov. Ralph DLG Torres said affordable and accessible healthcare coverage is a vital priority for the administration, adding that it is important for employees and retirees to take advantage of the opportunity.
“Lt. Gov. [Arnold I.] Palacios and I consider healthcare coverage a necessity for our government employees and, of course, our retirees. We encourage all government employees to take advantage of this as it safeguards families from the potentially high cost of unforeseen medical needs,” said Torres.
According to Finance Secretary David Atalig, “We are pleased that we are able to continue to offer employees, retirees and their families quality health insurance options.”
Atalig encourages government employees to take advantage of this enrollment period to ensure each employee and their families have the necessary resources to cover their healthcare expenses.
