Open Enrollment for government of Guam members to enroll in a medical/dental plan usually is during the month of September.  Coverage begins October 1st through September 30th for the fiscal year.  During the open enrollment period, GPA employees may sign up with participating providers for health/dental coverage to include any pre-existing conditions without a medical exam.  Employees may add or delete dependents during this time.  You also may cancel your medical and dental coverage in its entirety during open enrollment.  Most dental coverages have lock-in provisions and can be cancelled only during open enrollment.
