Benefits enrollment information will be automatically sent to your IU email address once your hire date has been entered in IU’s system. You must enroll in most benefits within 30 days of your hire date, so make sure you complete online enrollment within that timeframe. If you miss the deadline, you must wait until the annual Open Enrollment period to enroll, with an effective date of January 1 of the following year.

The monthly premiums for medical, dental, life, and disability insurance for you and your dependents (where applicable) are fully paid by the university or the hospital where you are completing your residency.

If you choose to enroll in the dependent care or healthcare flexible spending account, or supplemental AD&D insurance, or make contributions to an IU supplemental retirement plan, you must pay those premiums through payroll deductions.

You can only enroll in benefits outside of the 30-day new hire enrollment period if you or your dependent experiences an IRS-qualifying life event (such as marriage, birth, loss of other coverage, or departure from/arrival to the U.S.). Enrollment changes must be made within 30 days of the event by submitting a Life Event change through the Employee Center.

You can only waive/terminate coverage if you or your dependent experiences an IRS-qualifying life event (such as marriage, birth, loss of other coverage, or departure from the U.S.). Enrollment changes must be made within 30 days of the event by submitting a Life Event change through the Employee Center.

Once your enrollment in the plan has been processed, Anthem will mail a physical ID card to your home address on file. Cards are issued in the subscriber’s name only and should be used by all covered family members.

Cards can also be accessed 24/7 by logging in to Anthem’s Sydney Health app.

If you lose your physical ID card, you can print or request a new one be mailed to you by logging in to the Sydney Health app or by calling Anthem Customer Service at 844-736-0920.

ID cards will be sent to your home address within 10-14 business days from the date that you receive your benefits enrollment email notification from IU Human Resources.
