Updating Other Health Insurance Information Using Self Service in HRS

Overview

This document shows an employee how to update their Other Health Insurance and Medicare Information through Self Service.

Process Considerations:

  • Employees should be updating this information whenever a change occurs to their Other Health Insurance or Medicare Information. This is used for Coordination of Benefits between insurances to determine primary payment responsibility between the health vendors.
  • You may not enroll in a High Deductible Health Plan and Health Savings Account if you have other health insurance that is not a disqualifying HDHP or you are covered by Medicare.
