The Group Insurance Board established the 2023 It’s Your Choice health benefits open enrollment period to be September 26 - October 21, 2022.
Attend One of the Open Enrollment Kickoff Meetings
ETF will host several It's Your Choice 2023 employer kickoff events for local government employers for plan year 2023. All kickoff events will be held virtually. These events will follow a similar agenda as fall 2021, and a recording will later be available on the ETF website for viewing anytime.
The It’s Your Choice employer kickoff meeting provides an opportunity to hear from the health plans, pharmacy benefit manager, supplemental plans, wellness vendor (WebMD), and ETF about the benefit program changes that are effective January 1, 2023.

ETF's Virtual Benefits Outreach Activities
ETF staff and vendors will not attend in-person benefit fairs this year. Please continue to check the member education section of the ETF website for benefit education opportunities this fall.
ETF will again host a series of virtual benefit vendor forums to provide information for the 2023 health plan year and answer employer questions. These virtual forums are intended to provide the same personal interaction with benefit vendors as a kickoff event or benefit fair from the comfort of your own home or office. Employer benefits staff are encouraged to participate in as many sessions as desired in order to learn more about important changes, where to find resources, and how to help members make the most of their benefits. Registration details will be available on the ETF website this fall.
It’s Your Choice decision guides are targeted to be mailed to employers the week of September 12, 2022. The ETF It’s Your Choice 2023 webpages are scheduled to go live that same week.
Contact ETF Outreach by email at ETFSMBOutreach@etf.wi.gov with any additional questions.
Vendor Contact List
The Health Plan & Vendor Contacts (ET-1728) contains each health plan and vendor partner’s contacts for membership and coverage, claims, supplies, employee assistance programs, and complaints/grievances. The form is for employer use only; do not provide to employees. Employees must contact health plans using the contact information in the It’s Your Choice materials.
