Whether you’re still on paper (or using a system so inefficient that you might as well be on paper), a successful enrollment is the catalyst to a sustainable benefit strategy. Accurate data, ease of use, employee adoption and increased participation – all results of a custom, digital enrollment process.
You know by now online enrollment would be more efficient than slogging through paper forms for another year. So why haven’t you made the switch?
4. Consider the process today and ask questions about how to
automate each step
• Talk to key users before implementation
• Don’t forget about the little things:

Automating
5. • Lean on the experts for Best Practice Suggestions
Vendor should answer technology questions
Broker should answer benefit questions
• Benefit Plan contracts and eligibility details
Broker should have those details to share with the vendor
• Can all your carriers accept eligibility data electronically?
How long will it take to get those electronic files set up?
Who will manage eligibility with the carriers until the files go live?

What to Expect
6. • Be sure to make the time to provide the data that the
Vendor asks (many items can come from the broker and
carriers, but there will still need to be some involvement
from your team)
• Don’t underestimate the change in management that may
need to occur
• Implement off of open enrollment if at all possible
