Open Enrollment Information for 2027

THE 2027 OPEN ENROLLMENT PERIOD IS NOVEMBER 11-NOVEMBER 24.

One of the responsibilities of the California-Pacific Board of Pension & Health Benefits is to annually determine the best medical, dental and vision coverage for the participants. Working with Alliance 360, our partner for this coverage, we seek the best rates at the least disruption in services.

There are no plan changes to our current medical, dental or vision plans through the Conference and they will continue to be available in 2027.

If you experience any issues, you may contact Wanda Bethea, California-Pacific Conference Benefits Manager at benefits@calpacumc.org.
