Key Things To Know
The BPS benefits plan year is administered on a calendar-year basis, from January 1 through December 31.
You have 30 days from your date of hire to enroll for benefits, which become effective on your 46th day of employment. An enrollment packet, which will include your benefits password, will be sent to you at your work location. Enrollment is a time- sensitive process so please do not wait until the last day or hour to begin.
EasyBenefits is our benefits administration system. The information there will be very helpful and useful to you throughout the year so we encourage you to use, and visit, the site often: https://easybenefits.com/
If you are enrolling dependents for coverage, you MUST provide proof of their eligibility by your benefits effective date. If such proof is not provided within this time frame, your dependents will not be enrolled for coverage.
Employees who enroll in the BPS Health Plan can receive a substantially lower In-network medical plan deductible by completing two key wellness activities-- a biometric screening, which must be completed first followed by a health assessment-- within a prescribed timeframe.
Marathon Health Well-Care Centers
BPS offers employees, retirees, and their families (age 6 and up, enrolled in the BPS health plan) access to receive medical care at one of three on-site well-care centers. A medical doctor, registered nurse and certified medical assistant staff these centers. All treatment rendered at a center is at no cost, including drugs dispensed on site by the clinic’s physician. Find more information on page 28 and 29.
