Any benefits-eligible worker who wishes to enroll in Reliant's employer-offered insurance may do so during Open Enrollment. International workers have the right to opt out of Reliant's international insurance plan if they receive coverage from the National Health System of their host country. Reliant allows a one-time re-enrollment option for any employee who opted out; this opportunity is during Open Enrollment. For example, some workers may have enrolled in their national plan expecting good things, only to discover the national coverages were insufficient for their specific needs, especially while traveling in the United States. Note: You cannot opt out again once you re-enroll in the Reliant International Health Plan. To enroll, select the button below and submit the Aetna Enrollment Form no later than November 18, 2026, for coverage effective January 1, 2027.

The Benefits team understands that navigating insurance can be exceptionally confusing, especially if you have a lot of expected life changes coming up, like starting a new family.
You should always make your insurance selections based on your current insurance needs, not anticipated future changes.
However, if you want to talk with the Benefits Coordinator about future plans or gather more information, then you can always reach out to benefits@reliant.org.
Reliant cannot advise you on what selections you should make. Reliant can only provide you with information on possible options you can choose and the outcome of those options. |
