How Do I Add a Dependent to My Plan?

Adding a dependent—such as a spouse or child—must be done through your employer, since eligibility and enrollment are tied to your payroll and HR system.

Steps to add a dependent:

1. Notify your HR department about the dependent you want to add.
2. Provide any required documentation (such as a birth certificate or marriage certificate).
3. Once HR updates the information, your dependent will appear in the Family tab of the member portal.

Reminder: There are strict rules about when dependents can be added—usually at the start of the plan year or within a limited time after a qualifying life event (birth, marriage, adoption, or loss of other coverage). Check with HR to confirm your deadlines.
