Open Enrollment Period Closes

Open enrollment has ended and we are excited to announce that over 97 percent of Saia’s eligible employees participated in the annual event. The election of benefits was required to ensure benefits coverage in 2019, which begins this Jan. 1. All eligibility information was transmitted to our providers, United Healthcare and MetLife. Please note that you will receive a medical card if you newly elected coverage for the coming plan year. You may print out a temporary card by visiting www.myuhc.com.

As a reminder, if you are covered under our dental plan, MetLife, a dental card is not required at the time of service. For coverage verification, request that your dentist contact MetLife at 1-800-942-0854.

If you have any questions about your benefits, please contact the Benefits Department at extension 2564 or email empben@saia.com.

Life Insurance

Did you know that Saia pays for company-provided life insurance for all eligible, full-time employees? This benefit is available as outlined during our enrollment process as well as on the employee confirmation statement.

It is important that you designate a beneficiary for both your company-provided benefits as well as your supplemental policies.

If you have any questions, please email empben@saia.com.
