Planning to add dependents?

In order for new family members to be eligible for coverage under any Trinity Health benefit plan, you are required to provide proof of their dependent status. If you are planning to add family members you must submit dependent verification information to Human Resources within 30 days of your new hire or status change date. If you do not submit the required paperwork by the deadline, your newly added dependents will not be enrolled in coverage and you will be required to wait until the next annual enrollment period to enroll new dependents in the plan. Click here for a listing of required documents.

Social Security Numbers Required When Adding Dependents

To remain compliant with federal regulations, all associates must provide Social Security numbers for any dependent age one year and over enrolled in any health or welfare plan offered by Trinity Health. This mandate is outlined in the Medicare, Medicaid and State Children's Health Insurance Program Extension Act of 2007. Social Security numbers are used to coordinate Medicare payments with other insurance and workers' compensation benefits. For more information on the collection of Social Security Numbers for dependents, click here.

Take the Health Risk Assessment (HRA)

The Health Risk Assessment asks about your health habits and lifestyle to help identify some of your health needs. Your answers are kept secure and confidential; summary data is used to identify areas of focus for future wellness and prevention programs. Best of all, just by completing the online assessment, you can save money on your medical plan premium each pay period. When you enroll in medical coverage, you can keep your medical plan premiums low by taking the HRA beginning October 1, 2011, but no later than February 15, 2012. Information collected in this assessment will not affect your participation in the plan or negatively impact your health care costs. More information can be found in your 2012 Open Enrollment Guide.
