BAS and MyEnroll.com make managing the open enrollment process easy for both employers and employees. MyEnroll is a useful, versatile tool in the open enrollment benefit election process.
Many employers operate their plans with either a calendar year or a July 1 plan year. Employers offer an open enrollment period in advance of the plan year to give employees an opportunity to select or change benefits.
No matter when an employer holds its open enrollment, an employer with BAS can allow its employees and its administrators the ability to get information directly through MyEnroll. An employee’s MyEnroll homepage may be accessed at any time, from any place, 24x7. Working with BAS, an employer’s benefit plans and premiums are loaded into MyEnroll before the enrollment period so the user can immediately see the premium deductions for benefits. Amounts may be viewed per pay or monthly.
After an employee has completed the open enrollment election process, the employee is presented with a summary page to review the selections. At this point, the employee may return to a page in the open enrollment process to make changes. MyEnroll provides a time and date stamp reflecting when the employee completes open enrollment and finalizes the selections.
Administrators may access reports pertaining to Open Enrollment. There are various reports available, some of which show who completed Open Enrollment on the MyEnroll database, when it was completed, and the elections made. Many administrators use this information in advance of open enrollment close to encourage employees to make their elections before the deadline. This is especially important if the Open Enrollment is considered active- i.e. if the employee doesn’t access the website by the deadline, their benefits will not continue into the new year.
The MyEnroll portal can help reduce the complexities of Open Enrollment for the employee and administrator, increasing employee compliance and satisfaction in this very important yearly function.
