Please note, all employees MUST log into your Ease online portal to complete your enrollment.
· MEDICAL: We will be staying with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana this year. There are some slight changes to a few of the plans. Please review all plans to decide which option is best for you and your family.
· DENTAL & VISION: We are excited to announce that we will be moving to Equitable for our Dental and Vision benefits! This change offers a much larger network of providers!
· LIFE & DISABILITY: We will be continuing our Life and Disability coverages with Equitable. There are NO CHANGES to the costs or benefits! Please note, if you are enrolled in Voluntary Life/AD&D coverage and have aged up to the next age band, you may see a change in your cost. If you would like to make any changes to these benefits, please reach out to our benefit's partner, NFP to discuss the changes.
· VOLUNTARY BENEFITS: We have made some changes to our voluntary benefits this year. We were able to attain a better benefits package through Reliance Standard. We will continue to offer the Accident coverage. In an effort to simplify the benefits, we have combined the Critical Illness and Cancer benefits to offer one lump sum payment. We are also introducing a Hospital Indemnity plan! This benefit will pay you if you are admitted to the hospital. Remember, these benefits pay cash benefits directly to YOU.
· PET INSURANCE: YOU asked and WE LISTENED! We are newly offering discounted pet insurance through Pet Partners!
SBC: I hereby acknowledge receipt of the Summary of Benefits and Coverage (SBC) found in Ease. I have read the SBC and am familiar with its contents. If I have any questions concerning the information, I will contact the carrier or my Human Resource Department to have my questions answered. I understand this SBC is not a contract, and the material represents guidelines subject to change.
Offer of Coverage: I certify that I have received enrollment and plan information for health care coverage that Easterseals Louisiana offers, representing that it meets ACA requirements for affordable, minimum essential coverage, offering minimum value to me. I have been given the opportunity to enroll in or decline that coverage.
Pre-Tax Payroll Deductions: I authorize any payroll deductions required for the elections made in this online enrollment portal. I understand that these deductions will be made on a pre-tax basis unless I elect otherwise on this form. I understand that I cannot change my elections until the next open enrollment period, but I may change coverage for the dependents I am insuring or add new dependents if there is a "qualified" change in status. I have read the plan description and understand the post-tax deduction option.
