5.7.2 Health Care
Health Care Benefits Eligibility
Full-time employees who work for 30 or more hours per week are eligible for medical, dental, and vision insurance according to the terms of the policy. Employees must register with MyEnroll.com to enroll or to waive the benefits.
Part-time employees are eligible for medical, dental, and vision insurance if they are regularly scheduled to work 30 hours per week at one or more archdiocesan locations.
Except in cases of early
termination of employment, medical insurance terminates on June 30 for teachers who have not signed a
Teacher Employment Agreement or Faculty Employment Agreement for the following academic year in an archdiocesan or parish school, and on July 31 for principals who have not signed a
Principal Employment Agreement for the following academic year.
5.7.2.1 Enrollment Period
New employees have 31 days from the date of hire to enroll in all insurance plans. The effective date for insurance benefits is the first of the month following 31 days of continuous employment.
For example:
- Insurance for an employee hired February 4 is effective on April 1.
Employees who do not enroll in the medical, dental, vision, disability, or life plans within the first 31 days of employment must wait for the next scheduled open enrollment period.
Employees who are eligible for health benefits will be given an opportunity annually, in an "Open Enrollment" period, to add, delete, or change their health care benefits through MyEnroll.com.
Elections remain in effect until the next Open Enrollment unless the employee experiences a
qualifying life event.
Premium payments are made through payroll deductions. Employees pay premiums to the medical, vision, dental insurance plans with pretax dollars as outlined in IRS section 125 guidelines.
For assistance with all enrollment procedures employees should contact the plan administrator at employeebenefits@basusa.com or call 888-337-7785.
