Tis the season for health care open enrollment!

For individuals, it's an important time to make adjustments based on life and health changes. For employers that don't offer health care as a benefit, this is important information to pass along to your employees so they can get any necessary changes made for coming year.

On this week's Mind Your Business, Wayne Randall of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina shares important information about the proper time to make adjustments, what qualifies as a "life event" that may allow someone to make plan changes outside of the coming window, and how different plans can impact different periods of life. We'll also hear the latest on Blue Cross and Blue Sheild's community outreach activity in the High Country region, including new programs for seniors and veterans.

Mind your Business is produced weekly by the Boone Area Chamber of Commerce. This podcast is made possible each week by Appalachian Commercial Real Estate and sponsored in part by UNC Health Appalachian.
