How to Enroll

Learn more about all of the benefits that are available to you, from both Emory and Via Benefits. Read the 2025 Post-65 Retiree Benefits Guide to determine what coverage will meet your needs for the upcoming year.

After reviewing all your options, decide if you want to make any changes to your Emory coverage for 2024. To make changes, complete and submit the appropriate enrollment forms. If you don’t wish to make any changes, you do not need to do anything; your current coverage will roll over.

To pay for coverage, Emory offers the convenience of automatically drafting your checking account through ACH. If you do not already have an automatic draft set up with McGriff, our third-party vendor, you will need to complete their ACH form.
