Employees with benefits-eligible status are eligible to receive health and dental insurance coverage beginning the first day of employment. The cost of basic coverage is shared by Bethel and the employee.
Application for the group health and dental care plans at Bethel must be completed during the first 30 days of eligibility. Employees who do not enroll in Bethel's health insurance program are required to sign a waiver form.
Applications received after the first 30 days of employment are subject to changes in family status (change of spouse's employment, birth/adoption, marriage, etc.) called qualifying events. Employees who need to make changes in their health or dental insurance election due to an associated, reciprocal family status change should contact the Office of Human Resources for the appropriate insurance change forms. Change forms must be completed within 30 days of a qualifying event.
Open Enrollment is held each year in late fall to allow employees to change their health and dental insurance elections for the following year.
