IQVIA Benefits Handbook
WHEN COVERAGE BEGINS
If you:
Your coverage begins:
Are a current participant in the Health Care Plan and make changes during open enrollment
At the beginning of the following plan year (January 1).
Are a newly-hired or newly-eligible employee
On your date of hire.
Have a change in work status or experience a life status change
Coverage begins as of the day of the life event, if you have already met the plan's eligibility requirements and if you make your eligible benefit changes through the IQVIA Benefits Marketplace website within 30 days. If you miss the 30-day deadline, you will have to wait until the next open enrollment period to make any changes.
ID Cards
All medical, dental and vision plan participants receive a separate medical, prescriptions drug, dental and vision ID card from the plan carriers. The ID cards include information on your medical, dental prescription drug, and vision plans.
If you need care before you receive your card(s), call the carrier to request a temporary ID card. If you lose your card(s), call the carrier for information about your coverage before you receive treatment, so you can be sure the option you have enrolled in covers the treatment you're about to receive. (See the Contacts section for contact information.)
