What happens if fully benefits-eligible employees don’t enroll?
| Benefit |
If NO action taken: |
| Health Plan (You must make a selection or you will default to the option with the lowest premiums, Choice CDHP.)
|
- You will default to the health care plan option with the lowest premiums (Choice CDHP), at the same individual/family tier you have now, if you don’t make a plan selection.
- You’ll miss out on a $20/month credit toward premiums if you do not confirm that you and your covered family members are tobacco-free.
- You’ll pay a $100/month spousal fee if your spouse is on the Vanderbilt Health Plan but has access to health insurance through their own employer. If your spouse does not have access to another employer’s health plan, or works for Vanderbilt University, you must confirm this every year to avoid the fee.
