ENROLMENTS
The Blevins Insurance Group offers Third Party Administration, saving you time and money, while increasing efficiency. Enrolment is one aspect of the Third Party Administration Services that we offer, ensuring the accurate collection of employee data (electronic transfer or re-enrolment of employees) and the electronic transfer of data to your insurance carrier and/or your HR payroll system. We provide Enrolment Forms in English and French so that we have the necessary information to obtain coverage and written confirmation that you wish to obtain coverage under the policyholder.
Our Enrolment Services are comprehensive. We will evaluate the eligibility of a new employee or an existing employee who may have previously refused to participate by:
- Confirming that he/she is a permanent employee of your company
- Confirming that the employee has completed the eligibility period required under the policy
- Confirming the eligibility of dependents for Family Benefits
- Establishing the effective date of the employee's insurance
- Establishing whether evidence of the employee's good health and/or the employee's dependents good health is required for participation
In the event that you have any employees who refuse to participate in the Group Plan we provide Group Benefit Plan Waivers in English or French, ensuring that the employee will have no claim now or in the future for benefits under the program. In addition the Waiver renders the employer, its representatives, and the insurers harmless from all future claims.
Should you decide to change insurers, The Blevins Team will make the transition smooth and seamless, eliminating the need for you to deal with re-enrolments.

Insurer Enrolment Audits may discover that there are some ineligible plan members and/or their dependents on the Group Plan because a change in age and/or status has gone unreported; however more commonly this occurs with dependents. The definition of what constitutes an eligible dependent will be determined by each individual Group Benefit Plan. An eligible dependent may be classified as:
- A legal or common-law spouse, including same sex partner
- Unmarried children (including adopted, foster, step-children and legal wards) under 21 years of age
- Children under 25 years of age if they are full-time students, not employed on a full-time basis, not eligible for insurance as an employee under this or any other group benefit program, and living with the plan member
The Blevins Team can ensure that only fully eligible plan members and their dependents are able to participate in your Group Plan.
