Coverage Codes

• Code (required).  A code of ten characters or less with no spaces or special characters.
• Description (required).  Enter a description of thirty characters or less for the code.
• Active?  An active code has the Active checkbox selected, making the code available and keeping the code in effect as a valid choice. Inactivating any code can result in records with the code selected having orphaned data.
• Eligible Benefit Types.  Type each eligible benefit type into the Eligible Benefit Types field. These entries define which benefit plans will calculate based on which benefit salary calculation rules. Each Benefit Type code needs to be enclosed in single quotation marks and separated from the next eligible benefit type by a comma.
• Max. Covered.  Enter the maximum number of individuals covered associated with your selection in the MaxCovered field. For employee-only plans, enter 1. For employee plus one other person, enter 2. For plans for dependents and beneficiaries, enter the maximum number of dependents or beneficiaries or enter 99 for no limit.
• Choose one of the option buttons to define who this coverage can include: Employee Only, Spouse Only, Employee and Spouse, Dependent Only, Employee and Dependents, Beneficiary Only, and Family. On this screen, "Dependents" refers to child dependents, "Spouse" is a legal spouse or domestic partner, and "Family" coverage is for employee, spouse/domestic partner, and child dependents. The self-service benefit enrollment uses this value with selections on the Employee Contacts Detail to help filter who can be enrolled under this coverage.

The following coverage codes are often defined in a system. Your system may have different coverage codes.
