Myth: “We can only make a benefits change on January 1.”
Truth: That’s more habit than reality.
Many employers revisit their healthcare strategy mid-year - not because they’re changing plans tomorrow, but because smart decisions take time. Mid-year is often the ideal window to evaluate options, review plan performance, explore funding approaches and build a communication plan - so when it’s time to act, it’s not rushed.
If you’ve been thinking about a change but assumed you had to wait, you may have more flexibility than you think.
