To make your benefits enrollment experience as user-friendly as possible, we utilize Workday for our benefits administration needs. Whether you want to enroll or review your benefits, see below for how to do so.

There are a few things to keep in mind before you enroll:

  • You’ll need to know the date of birth, social security number, and address for each dependent you will cover.
  • Make sure to review your enrollment materials to understand your benefit options and costs for the coming year.

Need claims assistance?

If you need claims assistance, you’ll need to complete a HIPAA Authorization Form to grant your Benefit Advocate permission to work with your insurer and/or healthcare provider(s) to resolve your claims issues. Permission is granted on a limited-time basis to only the individuals listed on the form. The form is revocable at any time. Your Benefit Advocate will provide the form to you when needed.
