What You Need To Know
Open Enrollment is November 3-14, 2025. It’s your annual opportunity to explore the benefits programs and resources available to you and select the options that will help you and your family thrive in 2026.
We’re committed to ensuring that your employee experience enables you to be at your best — at work and beyond. As we look ahead to next year, that commitment remains stronger than ever for all our employees, whether you’re joining us from Ansys or you’ve been with Synopsys for years.
Important!
You’ll need to take action to review what’s changing for 2026 and to update your elections for the coming year if needed.
Medical, Pharmacy and Dental Plan Changes for 2026
We’re making changes to our benefits to better align with your health needs, priorities and budget. We believe the changes to our medical, pharmacy and dental plans will provide a better overall experience for you and your family while maintaining the coverage and affordability you rely on.
New Medical and Pharmacy Insurance Provider
Our medical plans are changing to Anthem Blue Cross and our pharmacy benefits are moving to Carelon.
- You’ll have access to a broader network than UnitedHealthcare in many areas, improved tools for managing care, and stronger support for preventive health and chronic condition management.
- Two high-deductible health plans (Basic and Premium) and a PPO plan will continue to be offered. Kaiser plans will remain in place if you live in California or Oregon.
Low and High Dental Plan Options
Dental coverage is available through Delta Dental, and you now have a choice of two plans: the Synopsys Dental Low Plan and the Synopsys Dental High Plan.
- The new Low Dental Plan option covers basic preventive care like cleanings and routine care, while the High Dental Plan option offers more comprehensive benefits, including orthodontia.
How To Prepare for Open Enrollment
Even though Open Enrollment doesn’t start until November 3, there are steps you can take now to prepare:
