Open Enrollment Period Closes
Open enrollment has ended and we are excited to announce that over 97 percent of Saia’s eligible employees participated in the annual event. The election of benefits was required to ensure benefits coverage for 2020. Please note that you will only receive a medical card if you newly elected coverage for the 2020 plan year. You may also print out a temporary card, by visiting www.myuhc.com.
As a reminder, if you are covered under our dental plan, MetLife, a dental card is not required at the time of service; however, you can print a card by visiting our Employee Information Center. Additionally, for coverage verification, request that your dentist contact MetLife at 1-800-942-0854.
