IQVIA Benefits Handbook
Life Events and Your Benefit Plans
IQVIA's benefits are designed to be flexible and to help you adapt to the life changes you encounter. Certain events in your life can affect your eligibility for benefits and may offer you the opportunity to make changes to your coverage. This section can help you make the most of the benefits available to you when these changes occur.
Changes to your benefits can be made by logging on to the IQVIA Benefits Marketplace website. For planned events such as a marriage or a new baby, it's a good idea to review your benefit options ahead of time, so you can make informed decisions when the event occurs.
In addition, please note the following:
- Most benefit changes that result from life status changes (sometimes known as "qualified status changes" or "life events") must be made within 30 days of the event.
- Because the IQVIA disability plans (short-term and long-term) are company-paid plans, the life events described in this section do not apply to those plans. See the Disability Coverage section for more information.
For details about eligibility for certain benefits, when you can change your coverage, and how you pay for coverage, see the individual plan sections of this Benefits Handbook. For information about your legal rights under ERISA, general information on claims review and appeal procedures, and other important administrative details, see the Administrative Information section.
