The document provides key dates and instructions for benefits enrollment, with the open enrollment period scheduled from May 8-21, 2025, and the new benefits year beginning July 1, 2025. The state offers three medical plan options: Ohio Med PPO, Ohio Med Select (renamed from Ohio Med NN), and Ohio Med HDHP, allowing employees to choose the most appropriate plan for their needs.
