In addition to traditional health insurance, your workplace may also offer other benefits, like dental, vision, life and disability insurance, which can contribute to your physical and financial health. Ancillary benefits offered through your employer are designed to enhance your medical insurance, keep you healthy and help you prepare for life’s unexpected challenges.

Whether you’re starting a new job or preparing for your organization’s annual open enrollment, choosing and enrolling in benefits can be overwhelming. Here’s what you need to know.

Why Enroll or Purchase Coverage Through Your Employer?

Enrolling in voluntary benefits through your workplace can be an easy and affordable way to get the coverage you need. You’ll benefit from:

  • Lower premiums. It’s typically less expensive to purchase voluntary benefits through a group plan at your workplace than on your own.1
  • Convenient payroll deductions
  • Simpler qualification
  • And a trusted provider. Your employer has worked hard to find the best insurance carrier for your group

How and When to Enroll in Workplace Benefits

Typically, you’ll have the opportunity to select and enroll in workplace benefits during the following times. Talk to your company’s HR representative to learn more about the enrollment process at your organization.

One of the first things you will likely have to do when you start a new job is enroll in employee benefits. You’ll have the opportunity to evaluate all the benefit offerings available to you and choose those that best fit your lifestyle and needs.

Every year, you can elect or change benefit options available during your company’s Open Enrollment period. Open Enrollment typically occurs near the end of the year and is a great time to evaluate the benefits offered through your workplace.

If you experience a Qualifying Life Event (such as getting married or having a baby) you may be eligible to shop for benefits outside of the standard enrollment period. Talk to your employer about company policies and eligibility.
