Enrollment Administration That Doesn't Stop When Open Enrollment Closes
Open enrollment creates two problems: getting employees enrolled on time, and confirming those elections actually reached carrier systems. Most organizations solve only the first. BAS administers enrollment through connected processes that carry elections through to carrier updates, so EDI delays and billing discrepancies don't surface months later.
Guided workflows supporting high enrollment completion rates
Standardized communications reducing repetitive HR follow-up
Carrier updates transmitted within 48 hours

Why Outsource
The Difference BAS Makes During Enrollment
Managing enrollment in-house creates fragmented tracking, employee confusion, and delayed carrier updates. BAS structures the operational workflows to reduce these failure points, coordinating elections, updates, and carrier confirmations through one managed process.
Without BAS Manual Enrollment Administration Fragmented tracking, confusion, and manual updates
- HR tracks completion manually across spreadsheets and emails
- Employees ask repeated questions about plans, costs, and deadlines
- Carrier updates require manual entry or follow-up after elections close
- Life events are reviewed inconsistently without governed workflows
- New hire enrollment deadlines depend on manual reminders and HR follow-up
With BAS Governed Enrollment Administration Structured execution through BAS
- Enrollment activity tracked through governed workflows without manual spreadsheets
- Employees receive guided plan selection and decision support throughout the election period
- Elections transmitted to carriers electronically, without re-keying or manual submission
- QLE documentation and eligibility windows tracked and verified within the workflow
- HR sees real-time enrollment completion status without manual follow-up or reports

Every Enrollment Connected.
No Gaps. No Reconciliation.

- New hire enrollment launches automatically from HRIS status changes, with no manual setup required
- Elections transmitted to carriers via EDI without re-keying or manual coordination
- Eligibility changes, carrier updates, and audit records maintained within the same connected system

How It Works
From Enrollment Setup to Carrier Confirmation — Four Controlled Steps
Each step in the enrollment lifecycle is handled through a defined workflow: trigger, action, and documented outcome.
-
Configure Enrollment Rules
Plan rules, eligibility tiers, and enrollment windows established. Active, passive, and semi-passive modes configured before enrollment opens, with plan options and waiver settings in place.
-
Launch Employee Communications
Communications deployed with plan information, cost estimates, and deadlines. Decision support available throughout the election period: plan comparisons, cost calculators, and guided recommendations.
-
Track Elections and Deadlines
Enrollment status monitored in real time. Reminders issued for pending elections and approaching deadlines without HR intervention, with completion tracked across all eligible employees.
-
Transmit, Reconcile, and Report
Elections transmitted electronically to carriers. Carrier responses reconciled, discrepancies resolved, and audit-ready enrollment records finalized without manual coordination.
Compliance & Risk
Enrollment Requires Eligibility Control, Documentation, and Timely Carrier Updates
Enrollment administration involves eligibility controls, documentation requirements, and timing dependencies. Errors in election processing, carrier updates, or life event documentation create downstream payroll, billing, and coverage issues.
- Eligibility rules configured in workflow
- QLE documentation review and window tracking
- Enrollment window and deadline monitoring
- Carrier update monitoring and audit visibility
Enrollment is administered operationally in accordance with plan rules and applicable requirements. Legal compliance responsibility remains with the employer.
Risks When Processes Break Down
Missed Enrollment Deadline
Elections not submitted within the required window may result in ineligible coverage or gaps in enrollment records.
Incomplete QLE Documentation
Life events without complete supporting documentation leave eligibility changes unresolved and coverage updates stalled.
Incorrect Dependent Eligibility
Dependents added without verified documentation create downstream billing and coverage discrepancies.
Delayed Carrier Updates
Elections not transmitted promptly cause coverage misalignment between enrollment records and carrier systems.
Incomplete Audit Trail
No accessible record of elections, communications, and carrier updates leaves no defensible documentation position.

Operational Proof
Where Enrollment Administration Breaks — and How It's Resolved
Employee Confusion
Employees Miss Elections When Guidance Is Absent During Open Enrollment
No plan comparison, no decision support, and incomplete elections submitted.
Guided Plan Comparison and Decision Support Throughout the Election Period
- Plan comparisons, cost calculators, and guided recommendations available throughout enrollment
- Communication sequences deployed at open, reminder intervals, and close with completion tracking
Manual Carrier Entry
Carrier Systems Fall out of Sync When Elections Are Entered Manually
Manual data entry creates re-keying errors and transmission delays.
Elections Transmitted to Carriers Electronically Through EDI
- Carrier EDI transmits elections directly, reducing re-keying errors and confirmation delays
- Carrier responses and update confirmations tracked for each submission
Missed New Hire Deadlines
New Hire Enrollment Windows Close Without Election When Reminders Are Manual
30-day window missed due to absence of automated follow-up.
New Hire Workflows Triggered from HRIS Status Changes with Automated Reminders
- Enrollment launched from HRIS status change, with welcome communications sent automatically
- Deadline reminders issued at defined intervals without HR intervention
Life Event Documentation Gaps
Life Events Stall When Documentation Is Collected Outside a Governed Process
QLE eligibility changes unresolved without structured document collection.
QLE Documentation Review and Window Tracking Handled Within the Enrollment Workflow
- QLE documentation collected, reviewed, and retained within the administration workflow
- Eligibility windows tracked, with retroactive effective dates applied based on documentation
Incomplete HR Visibility
HR Cannot See Enrollment Status Without Running Manual Reports
No real-time view of who enrolled, who did not, and what deadlines are approaching.
Real-Time Completion Dashboard and Enrollment Status Available Throughout the Period
- Completion dashboards show enrolled, not enrolled, and pending status in real time
- Deadline visibility maintained across open enrollment and new hire windows
