Health Insurance Open Enrollment Starts Soon

If you are currently enrolled in OEBB with RCC, you should have already received an email about Open Enrollment. OEBB will send more information by mail in early August, and you’ll be hearing from the RCC Benefits Team periodically throughout the next two months. 

This is your annual opportunity to make changes to your medical, dental, vision and supplemental insurance coverage. 

Important Dates: 

  • OEBB Open Enrollment for Non-SB551 is Aug. 15 – Sept. 15, 2026. 
  • Adjunct employees enrolled under SB551 will receive separate communications for this open enrollment period. 
  • Open Enrollment is mandatory. If you do not complete the process, your health insurance coverage will end on Sept. 30, 2026. 

Open Enrollment Meetings

  • We’re doing things a bit differently this year! Instead of in-person meetings, we will be hosting five virtual drop-in sessions in partnership with Moda. These sessions are scheduled throughout Open Enrollment. Dates and links will be finalized and shared soon. 
  • The information normally shared at in-person meetings is available in this OEBB Pre-Open Enrollment Webinar 2026-27. Additional benefits information is available on the Oregon Health Authority website.

Highlights

  • College contribution: The college’s contribution will still cover the full cost of medical, dental and vision insurance for employee + family for full-time employees. 
  • Garner: Moda continues to partner with Garner, a tool that reimburses members for visiting top-quality, cost-effective providers. Garner reimbursements have increased to offset deductible increases. More info on Garner can be found in Your Garner Guide
  • Prices: Deductibles, out-of-pocket maximums and office visit copays have increased on all plans. (Increase amounts: Copay $10, individual deductible $250, family deductible $500.) 
  • Unum Long Term Care: OEBB will no longer offer LTC coverage. Current members can transition to paying Unum directly to continue coverage. Contact the RCC Benefits Team for more information.
