Enrollment in Single Coverage


Concept

This topic gives instruction for enrollee's who previously waived coverage and are electing PPO Medical coverage. The steps are the same if you are currently enrolled in family coverage or the high-deductible plan with single coverage.

 

The year found in dates referencing Open Enrollment periods as well as specific benefit contributions have been masked as these instructions are applicable regardless of year and contributions may change from year to year.

 

Also, not all plans may be displayed in the job aid and accompanying simulation as plans may be added or removed from year to year. Please refer to your myBenefits Guide for specific plan and contribution information.
