How long do I need to wait before my healthcare coverage kicks in?

Find out when your healthcare coverage officially begins.

For the UnitedHealthcare® Gold PPO and Silver POS plans (Nexus ACO):

If you are currently enrolled in one of our plans, then your new plan will begin on January 1, 2025.

If you sign up for health insurance coverage during open enrollment and also have met our 68 hours (8.5 shifts) per month requirement, your coverage will also begin on January 1, 2025. 

If you complete the enrollment process for health insurance coverage outside of open enrollment, coverage will begin on the first day of the month after a 60-day waiting period. Therefore, your coverage would begin on March 1, 2025. Note: You'll be charged your monthly healthcare premium on the 15th of each month, which will apply to the following month's coverage. Your July 15th payment, for instance, will go toward your healthcare coverage in August.
