Any benefit-eligible employee of UAB, UAB Hospital and UAB Hospital Management LLC can access a personalized benefits experience, wherever they are, with the Benefitplace app. The app, available for iOS and Android devices, can help you find critical coverage information, plan details and relevant benefits.
To get started, install the BenefitFocus app from the Apple App Store or Google Play. Enter the company ID “uab” and log in to see your benefits using the same username and password you use on your computer during open enrollment.
The app offers a number of features, including the ability to:
- view all active benefits, coverage details and payroll deductions;
- snap and tap to quickly upload required documentation;
- access information on benefits coverage and plan details before your visits;
- send and receive sensitive personal information through secure messaging;
- make annual benefit elections and life event changes on the go; and,
- learn about and shop for benefits that are available for enrollment throughout the year.
UAB’s annual open enrollment for benefits began at 7 a.m. Oct. 16 and will conclude at 5 p.m. Nov. 2. Eligible employees can choose among dental, vision and health insurance plans, plus voluntary plan options and tax-deferred spending accounts for health and dependent care for 2027.
This is an active open enrollment, which means any benefit-eligible employee of UAB, UAB Hospital and UAB Hospital Management LLC who does not select a 2027 healthcare plan option by Nov. 2 will not have UAB-provided healthcare coverage (medical, dental and vision) beginning Jan. 1, 2027.
All the information employees need to make their selections is collected in the open enrollment toolkit in the UAB for Me benefits portal. This includes plan details, educational pieces, FAQs, decision-making tools and other resources that can help you make selections.
