Own Your Benefits: Verifying Dependents
Own Your Benefits: Verifying Dependents

Benefit Highlight Information

Effective July 1, 2024, due to a recent audit, all employees having a qualified life event and making any changes to their family health and/or dental coverage must verify all dependent relationships by providing corresponding legal documentation.

Examples of documentation:

  • Spouse - marriage certificate, common law spouse affidavit
  • Domestic Partner - notarized domestic partner affidavit
  • Child - birth certificate which includes parents names, court order, or guardianship paperwork

Since this impacts all life events, including open enrollment, we are notifying employees now so documentation can be easily provided when required. At the time of your life event, you can securely upload documentation to UNI Works or bring it into the Human Resource Services office at Gilchrist 025. All documentation needs to be viewed by HRS staff, but no documentation will be retained after it’s reviewed (i.e., if provided electronically, it will be purged). Do not send any personal documents through email as this is not secure.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation.

Own Your Benefits: Read Your Explanation of Benefits (EOB), it Can Save You Money
Own Your Benefits: Read Your Explanation of Benefits (EOB), it Can Save You Money

Benefit Highlight Information

Wellmark Blue Cross Blue Shield, our health insurance provider, will provide an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) each time a health or prescription claim is processed. Understanding your EOB is very important. The document tells you:

  1. Your doctor’s appointment/service, or prescription, has been reviewed by Wellmark.
  2. How much our health plan account will pay towards what is owed for the appointment.
  3. What you will owe as ‘patient responsibility’.

An EOB is not a bill, if you owe anything the bill should come from the doctor's office. By knowing your plan, and reading your Explanation Of Benefits, you can double check what you are paying towards your appointment or service is correct. You should always receive an EOB prior to receiving your bill, this way you understand why you are being charged.

For example, your provider could incorrectly submit a claim resulting in Wellmark denying the claim. You could then receive a bill for the service when UNI’s plan actually covers the service that you received. By understanding your health plan, you can double check these charges and save yourself money. If you have questions on any charges relating to your health insurance, please call the number on the back of your Wellmark ID and/or your provider. To learn more please watch our video.

Own Your Benefits: Verifying Dependents

Benefit Highlight Information

Effective July 1, 2024, due to a recent audit, all employees having a qualified life event and making any changes to their family health and/or dental coverage must verify all dependent relationships by providing corresponding legal documentation.

Examples of documentation:

  • Spouse - marriage certificate, common law spouse affidavit
  • Domestic Partner - notarized domestic partner affidavit

All documentation needs to be viewed by HRS staff, but no documentation will be retained after it’s reviewed (i.e., if provided electronically, it will be purged). Do not send any personal documents through email as this is not secure.

Own Your Benefits: Virtual Healthcare Services

Benefit Highlight Information

UnityPoint and MercyOne hospitals and clinics have online systems that allow patients to contact their care teams virtually. Through these platforms you are also able to request prescription refills, access test results, and read provider notes. Doctor on Demand, UNI’s option for a virtual office visit, allows 24/7 care for common symptoms. Utilizing these services lowers the risk of exposure and illness during the cold and flu season.
