CalPERS Open Enrollment: How to choose UC Davis Health

A number of health plans allow CalPERS members to choose UC Davis Health during open enrollment.

What is CalPERS Open Enrollment?

In 2025, CalPERS Open Enrollment takes place from September 15 through October 10

CalPERS Open Enrollment is a specific period each fall when eligible CalPERS members and their dependents can switch health plans, or enroll for the first time. Changes made during this period will take effect on January 1, 2026.

To ensure the best care for you and your loved ones, it’s important to choose a plan that includes UC Davis Health! 

This web page lists the CalPERS health plans that UC Davis Health accepts. Because our same care team and services are available at different rates in different plans, you may save money by comparison shopping.
