This annual event is your once-a-year opportunity to review your current elections, make changes, and enroll in new benefits for the next plan year (which starts on January 1).

NOTE: No coverage changes can be made outside of Open Enrollment unless a mid-year qualifying life event occurs. You may request a change directly in BenefitSource within 31 days of the qualifying event.

Lennox’s benefits plan year starts on January 1 of each year and runs through December 31.

You can view the current plan year’s benefit offerings and their associated costs by locating the “Your Benefits” sections under this site’s main menu.

If your legal spouse is not already covered by another medical plan, you can add them to your coverage.

NOTE: A $100 monthly surcharge will apply if you enroll a working spouse who is offered health coverage through their employer.

To avoid this surcharge, you must answer the Working Spouse Status question every year during enrollment in BenefitSource to certify your situation or else the $100 monthly surcharge will apply. If your status changes mid-year, you can submit an affidavit.

If you qualify for and are enrolled in the Lennox medical plan, you can add an eligible family member.

You must upload the required documentation (marriage certificate, birth certificate, etc.) in BenefitSource within 60 days of adding a new dependent. Dependent coverage will not be effective until eligibility is verified.

If you decide not to enroll or waive coverage, you will still be automatically enrolled in Company-paid Life Insurance, Short-Term Disability (STD), and EAP benefits and have access to the Calm and LIIveWell programs.

You can also request a mid-year change if you experience a qualifying life event during the year.

A qualifying life event (listed below) may allow you to change your benefits coverage mid-year before the next Open Enrollment. BenefitSource must be notified within 31 days of the event if coverage needs to be changed.
  • A change in the number of dependents
    • Birth or adoption of a child
    • A covered child is no longer an eligible dependent
    • Covered child turns age 26
  • A change in your spouse’s employment status
  • A change in your legal marital status (marriage, divorce, or legal separation)
  • Changes in address or location that may affect coverage
  • Entitlement to Medicare or Medicaid Death of your covered dependent

If you are enrolled in the Lennox Green Medical Plan or Blue Medical Plan, you should complete these mandatory steps each year to maximize your health care savings:

Certify Working Spouse Status

A $100 monthly surcharge will apply if you enroll a working spouse who is offered health coverage through their employer. If this does not apply and you wish to avoid the surcharge, be sure to answer “No” on the Working Spouse Status question in BenefitSource during Open Enrollment every year.

NOTE: If your status changes during the year, please submit a Working Spouse Status affidavit.

Confirm Tobacco Use

A $150 per person monthly surcharge will apply if you and/or your covered spouse uses tobacco and enrolls in a Lennox medical plan. If this does not apply and you wish to avoid the surcharge, be sure to answer “No” on the Tobacco Use question in BenefitSource during Open Enrollment every year.

NOTE: If you/your spouse’s status changes during the year, please submit a Tobacco Use affidavit.

Complete an Annual Health Screening

A $75 per person monthly surcharge will apply if you and/or your covered spouse do not 1) complete an annual health screening, and 2) meet or improve 3 out of 5 measured health metrics by the next set deadline. To avoid this surcharge, visit LIIveWell for the latest information and deadlines. First time users will have to register.

NOTE: In the case of a medical condition or pregnancy, a screening waiver can be submitted.

A fixed amount that you pay for covered health care services at the time you receive care. This copay amount is determined by your medical plan.

The amount you owe for covered services before your insurance plan pays its portion. Preventive care might be exempt from this deductible.

For example, if your deductible is $1,500, your plan will not cover any cost until you pay $1,500 out of pocket.

Locate the “Your Benefits” sections under this site’s main menu to view the current in-network annual deductibles for Lennox’s medical plans. Review your plan documents for more details.

Coinsurance is the amount that you and the insurance plan pay for covered services after the annual deductible has been met.

For example, if the plan pays 80% after the deductible, you would be responsible for the remaining 20% of the expense for the covered service.

The maximum amount you must pay during the plan year before your insurance plan begins to pay 100% of the allowed amount.

It does not include your premiums, out-of-network provider charges, or healthcare services your plan does not cover. Review your plan documents for more details.

A provider network is a group of physicians, hospitals, and healthcare providers that have agreed to provide medical services.

  • In-Network – Providers that contract with your insurance company to provide healthcare services at the negotiated carrier discounted rates.

  • Out-of-Network – Providers that are not contracted with your insurance company. If you choose an out-of-network provider, services will not be covered at the in-network negotiated carrier discounted rates.

  • Non-Participating – Providers that have declined entering into a contract with your insurance provider. They may not accept any insurance, and you could pay for all costs out of pocket.

Flexible Spending Accounts

Lennox offers two FSA options: Health Care FSA and Dependent Care FSA.
  • Each year, you can enroll in one FSA or both.
  • Pre-tax dollars can be contributed to each FSA (up to the IRS maximum).
  • Be sure to review the eligible expenses that your FSA funds can be used for.
  • You must re-enroll in the FSA(s) each year to participate.
NOTE: You can roll over a portion of your Health Care FSA funds to the next plan year. Dependent Care FSA funds cannot be rolled over, unused amounts over the amount that can be rolled over must be forfeited.
