Employers with July 1 plan years are quickly approaching their annual open enrollment periods. With BAS’ MyEnroll system, open enrollment no longer has to be a dreaded, time consuming project.
BAS' open enrollment process, through MyEnroll.com, generally includes the following steps:
- Your dedicated BAS Account Manger will reach out to you (and your broker, if applicable), approximately 90 days before the start of the open enrollment period. BAS will provide a current employee census, rate collection form and payroll worksheet.
- Depending on your needs, BAS will schedule a call or meeting to develop a timeline of tasks to be completed during the open enrollment process. The timeline will address programming, eligibility rules and employee communications.
- BAS will suggest a review of email addresses in MyEnroll to ensure accurate delivery of open enrollment materials.
- If your upcoming plan year includes changes or additions to benefit carrier(s), BAS will work directly with the carrier to ensure seamless file transmissions.
- Approximately 60 days before the start of open enrollment, BAS will work with you to enter plan rates, eligibility rules and payroll schedules into MyEnroll.com. All entries are subject to BAS’ quality control processes. BAS will provide a report indicating what is reflected in MyEnroll.
- BAS will create a customized MyEnroll Enrollment Wizard for your employees to use to complete online enrollment. If online enrollment is not implemented, BAS will provide appropriate paper enrollment forms.
- For employers who use COBRA Control Services (CCS) for COBRA administration, BAS will work directly with CCS to update rates and send open enrollment materials to employees on COBRA coverage.
At the close of the open enrollment period, you will receive a report identifying all employees who made a change during open enrollment. BAS can also send personalized Confirmation Benefit Statements to your employees.
Whether you currently employ BAS to administer COBRA, FSAs or all of your employee benefits, BAS can streamline the open enrollment process. You can count on BAS’ exceptional customer service and quality control checks to make open enrollment run smoothly.
