Newly Acquired Dependents
(Active Employee Plan participants)
Active Employee Plan participants may enroll newly acquired dependents at any time as your family changes, for example, through birth, adoption or marriage. (Retirees may not add dependents after enrollment in a Retiree Plan.)
Be sure to enroll by the deadline (generally 30 days from the date of the event).
For Active Employees, monthly contributions will be deducted from your paycheck. (Retirees pay monthly.)
You’ll receive a Health Plan ID card within 30 days.
Create an account on the Plan carriers’ websites (Regence, Express Scripts, etc.) to find an in-network provider, view your benefit coverage and see your claim history. (Tip: Download the carrier's app for online access to your ID card and coverage information.)
Create an account with the Administrative Office on Northwest Administrator’s website to verify you and your dependents are enrolled.
Be sure to update your contact information with the Trust whenever you have changes to your mailing address, phone number or email address.
