Blue Access for EmployersSM Tip: Update Plan Coverage

Blue Access for Employers (BAE) is here to help during your Open Enrollment period. Did you know that the Update Plan Coverage feature allows you to make changes to eligible plan offerings for an employee and his/her dependents due to a qualifying event?

If a plan option is tied to a category or characteristic, use Update Classifications to change a member’s plan, rather than the Update Plan Coverage option.

Follow these steps to update plan coverage:  

  1. On the BAE home page, select the Update Plan Coverage option from the “I want to” drop-down menu.
  2. Select the Employee or Dependent button.
  3. Enter the employee’s or dependent’s Social Security/ID Number or Last Name.
  4. Click the Find button.
  5. Click on the employee’s or dependent’s name in the Search Results table to be taken to the Update Plan Coverage screen.
  6. Follow the instructions on the screen.
  7. Upon completion, click the Confirm button on the Review and Confirm screen.
