Pre-Enrollment Checklist

If you are a new hire or experience a qualifying life event, make sure you do the following:

  • Review how your contribution rates impact your total cost of coverage.
  • Think about how you’ve used healthcare services in the past year to help guide your benefit elections.
  • Make sure to verify that your dependents are eligible for coverage.
