NCFlex Open Enrollment: Sept. 30 - Oct. 25

Open Enrollment begins soon! NCFlex will join the State Health Plan for Open Enrollment this Sept. 30–Oct. 25 for the 2025 plan year.

Find helpful information on plan changes and reminders for your benefits on NCFlex's Open Enrollment webpage.

Please help spread the word by sharing Open Enrollment information with your employees and encourage them to attend an Open Enrollment online benefits meeting where they can submit questions and receive answers live from an NCFlex Representative. Keep in mind that the State Health Plan will hold sessions focused on their benefits as well.

If you have not registered to join one of our virtual or in-person HBR/UBA Train the Trainer events, be sure to check out our Upcoming HBR Trainings page.

2025 NCFlex Guides Update

In August, we shared the different guides* for 2025. It's not too late to place orders here using the directions below:

Sign in or register for the first time. The site will save your order details in the future.
To create an account, use the password NCFLEX.
Once logged in, click Print Collateral and choose the guide you want to order.
Use a physical address rather than a PO Box or MSC number.
Please keep in mind that the Benefits Guide is meant for HBRs/UBAs and is therefore printed in a lower quantity than the Enrollment Guides.

Please be aware of which guide you are ordering. You can review them online beforehand and can access the Spanish 2025 Enrollment Guide and two-page rate sheets in the enrollment resources section of our website.

Already ordered your 2025 guides? They should be on their way soon. You can check your order status anytime using the same account you used to place the order. Once delivered, please check to ensure you received the correct guides (university or non-university). If there is a mistake in your order, please reach out to the print vendor at 919-255-6500 or email NCFlex.

*The Enrollment Guide for Universities does not include the NCFlex Group Term Life, AD&D or Disability Plan details.

Equipping Your Employees with the Enrollment Info They Need

During Open Enrollment, we will host online benefits meetings where employees can join and ask questions related to NCFlex benefits.

As a benefits rep, consider requesting a separate session exclusive to your employees. Our site visit request form is available, not only to request in-person visits but to request virtual sessions too. You can also email us to discuss times and dates available.
