What is open enrollment and how does it affect me?
Open enrollment is the designated time each year when you can enroll in benefits. U.S.-based employees have two open enrollment opportunities each year: 1) when they join the company and can select their initial plan, and 2) when the company’s Aetna policy renews in November. Unless a qualifying event occurs, open enrollment is the only time an employee can enroll in benefits.
What is a qualifying life event?
A qualifying life event is a change which enables U.S.-based employees to enroll in benefits outside of open enrollment. A qualifying life event would include one of the following situations: 1) marriage / domestic partnership, 2) divorce or separation, 3) birth or adoption of a child, 4) loss of previous coverage, 5) moving (this is not a guaranteed event, please contact support@justworks.com for more information on what qualifies).
When you have a qualifying life event, you can make updates to your benefits coverage by submitting proof of the QLE within 30 days of the event.
I want to add a dependent to my coverage. How can I do that?
Dependents must be added to your plan during open enrollment unless there is a qualifying event. If a qualifying event does occur, simply navigate to your Benefits and select the “Change coverage” button to signal that you need to add a dependent to your plan.
I want to change my plan selection. How can I do that?
You can change your plan if you’re still in open enrollment or if you have a qualifying life event. In either of these cases, please reach out to support@justworks.com.
I missed my open enrollment period but now would like to enroll. Can I sign-up at any time?
You can only enroll in benefits during open enrollment or if you have a qualifying life event, otherwise you’ll need to wait until the next open enrollment period.
I want to cancel my coverage. How can I do that?
In order to cancel your benefits outside of the open enrollment time, you will need a qualifying life event.
I have to file a claim with Aetna. How can I get started?
You can file a claim directly through your Aetna profile. Navigate to aetna.com and register for an account. From there, you can click “claims” or “Ask Ann” to get more information. If you prefer to mail in your claim, refer to the back of your ID card for the claim mailing address

Are travel and lodging benefits included in my plan?
Yes! As of October 1, 2022, our Aetna policy covers both travel and lodging expenses (subject to IRS guidelines) for members who live in states where access to care has been limited or outlawed and where they must travel more than 100 miles to seek care in another state. Examples of this can include gas, hotels, and airfare.
If you have specific coverage questions, please reach out to Health Advocate or contact Aetna Member Services at 866-208-5994.
How are abortion services covered on my plan?
Our national policy with Aetna includes coverage for elective and therapeutic pregnancy termination services.
While insurance coverage is not contingent on a member’s residence, access to care and services remains subject to state law.
In general, what is covered by the policy doesn't dictate what services providers can or are willing to perform or provide. Any members with related questions are encouraged to contact the insurance carrier directly via Aetna Member Services: 866-208-5994
Health Advocate is another resource that you can take advantage of for more specific coverage information. Covered U.S.-based employees can call 866-799-2728 or email answers@healthadvocate.com.
How do I find out how much I’m paying for health insurance each month?
To find your monthly insurance cost, navigate to your Benefits. You’ll then be presented with each benefit for which you’re enrolled as well as each monthly cost.
Can I make changes to my coverage throughout the year?
Once you select a plan and coverage is effective, you cannot make changes unless it is due to a qualifying life event.
I did not get an opportunity to enroll in health insurance, but I think I’m eligible. What do I do?
