Annual Benefits Enrollment for Affiliates
Each year, Emory University offers you the opportunity to review your benefit elections during the annual enrollment period and make changes for the upcoming plan year. This year’s benefits annual enrollment period ends on November 3, 2025. Changes made to your coverage will become effective January 1, 2026.
What’s New for 2026?
Whether it’s your physical or mental health, Emory offers a comprehensive benefits package to help meet your needs. Here are the highlights of what is changing for 2026:
Medical and Dental Plan Rates
Medical costs continue to rise overall. As a result, rates for the Aetna POS medical plan will increase for 2026. The increase reflects the claims costs of the plan. Rates for the dental plan and the vision plan will not increase in 2026.How to Enroll

Step 2
If you need to make changes to your coverage, complete the Affiliate Election Form and return it to the Benefits and WorkLife Department by November 3, 2025.
A response is only required from you if you want to add or drop dependents or terminate your medical and/or dental coverage.
