Tips and Tools FOR YOU AND YOUR CO-WORKERS
Everyone must respond!
As you probably know, this year there’s a shortened Open Enrollment period, and the hospital is requiring ALL employees to make benefits choices.
What Members Are Saying
SHARE is working hard to make sure that no one goes without Health Insurance. We’ve had hundreds of conversations over the past week to see how things are going. Most members say it’s easy, and the Benefits hotline is helpful to answer questions. But some members have run into surprises . . .
Don’t Delay! Enroll Now!
Some members say that they come across decisions that they hadn’t anticipated; for example, they had to talk through decisions about orthodontics coverage with other members of their family, and were glad they enrolled early enough to have time for that.
See It Through
Other members have been surprised that they were still listed as un-enrolled: they had forgotten to click “Submit” at the end of the process. If you have not gotten an email confirmation about your benefits elections, log back in to http://mybenefits.umassmemorial.org/ and make sure you’re done.
Make It Easy On Yourself
Members who’ve had the easiest time enrolling have generally based this year’s choices off of their previous choices. You can easily review your current benefits right in the app. (See the photo below for the phone view.)
Thank you to everyone who’s helping to make sure that everyone in our community gets signed up during Open Enrollment this year. If you have co-workers who still need to sign up, they can point their phone’s camera at the above QR code. That’ll take them straight to the Benefits site. Or, log into http://mybenefits.umassmemorial.org/
Keep In Touch
If you have tips, or if you’re running into problems or questions that the Benefits Office can’t help with, let SHARE know!
