Annual Enrollment is your once-a-year opportunity to make changes to your current American Airlines benefits. If you do not make any changes during this period, your 2024 coverage choices will carry over into 2025. In addition, you may also want to consider an external plan with the help of a Via Benefits advisor. You can find more information about American’s benefits as well as enrollment in outside coverage below.
American’s Medical Option
American's Annual Enrollment is Nov. 12 to 26, 2024. For 2025, there are no changes to the post-65 retiree medical options. Please know that if you choose to drop your legacy US Airways retiree medical coverage for any reason, you cannot reenroll for retiree benefits at American.
You can find 2025 rates by logging in to your account in the Benefits Service Center during the enrollment process.
How to enroll

Via Benefits retiree medical options
American Airlines has partnered with Via Benefits, a private insurance marketplace from Willis Towers Watson, to provide plan advice and enrollment assistance when choosing supplemental health care and prescription drug coverage in the individual market.
Via Benefits offers a variety of carriers and plans (including dental and vision plans) that may provide an equal or better maximum benefit coverage at a lower your cost when compared to an American retiree medical option. Via Benefits is not an insurance company, and its services are free of charge.
If you do identify a medical option that is better for you through Via Benefits, you can drop your American medical options before Dec. 31, 2024.
