Medical/Prescription, Dental and Vision Plans | 2021-2022 Plan Year
Effective November 1, 2021

Since 1959 the Foundation for Advanced Education in the Sciences (FAES) has been working to support the professional and educational mission of the National Institutes of Health. This support has included a health insurance program for select members of the NIH community over the past several decades. We have made many changes over the years with the end goal of ensuring a robust and sustainable plan.

FAES will continue to offer the Trustmark/Aetna Signature Administrators PPO Medical/Prescription plan and the MetLife Dental/Vision plan for the 2021-2022 plan year. We are pleased to announce that no coverage changes were made for the new plan year.

2021-2022 Insurance Plan information can be found on the FAES Insurance “Explore Insurance Plans”  webpage.

Open Enrollment September 13-24, 2021

Open Enrollment is a time when you can make changes to your insurance election. Changes can include switching from individual coverage to family coverage (or vice versa), dropping coverage all together or enrolling if you previously waived coverage. If you wish to make changes, please contact the FAES Insurance department by phone or email. Changes will take effect with the start of our new plan year on November 1, 2021.

If you are currently enrolled and choose to remain on the plan for the new plan year, you will automatically be reenrolled in Medical/Prescription and Dental/Vision plans effective November 1, 2021. You do not need to fill out new paperwork.

FAES Insurance will host daily (Monday-Friday) Open Enrollment Information Sessions via Zoom, September 13-24 at 3pm.
