    NOTE: If you want to waive medical, dental, or vision coverage you need to check the box for yourself, but leave the box for your dependents unchecked.  If you leave any box for yourself unchecked you will get an error.

    Step 6

  7. In this lesson we are going to select coverage for both SELF and the dependent for medical and dental.  We are going to waive vision coverage.

  14. The medical plans available to you are listed in the grid along with their cost to you per pay period.

    Step 14

  15. In this lesson we are going to select the second plan.

     

    Click the BCBS PPO Insurance, EE + Child(ren), Biweekly* option.

    Step 15

  16. As you go through Open Enrollment and make your selections your total deductions per pay period will be displayed.  There is a Recalculate button at the top of the page which will update your total.

    Step 16

  17. Click the Recalculate button.

    Step 17

  18. Notice how the total has updated.

    Step 18

  19. After making your selection click the Next > > button.

    Step 19

  20. In this lesson we selected Dental coverage for both ourselves and our dependent.  Since there is only one plan offered for Dental coverage, if you selected coverage for both yourself and your dependent(s) you will not see a screen with the Dental plan, and you will be taken directly to the Vision selection screen.

     

    If we had only selected Dental coverage for ourselves then we would have been taken to a screen where we would have the option to waive Dental coverage. 

    Step 20

  21. Even though we did not see the screen with the Dental coverage in this lesson, the Total Deductions Per Pay Period amount has been updated to include the cost of the Dental coverage.

    Step 21

  22.  

    If you recall, we selected the Vision check box for ourselves but not for our dependent.  This allows us to waive the coverage.  Had we selected the check box for both yourself and our dependent we would not be given the opportunity to waive coverage. 

    Step 22

  23. Click the WAIVER - VISION option.

    Step 23

  24. Click the Next > > button.

    Step 24

You have completed the Health Coverage Selections lesson.
