2019 ANNUAL ENROLLMENT
The 2019 annual enrollment for benefits began on October 22, 2018 and will run through 4:00 pm on November 9, 2018.
What's New:
- New HSA/FSA/COBRA Carrier
- Critical Illness & Hospital Indemnity Insurance
- New Wellness Portal & Vendor
- New all-in-one enrollment tool for annual enrollment, qualifying life events and more!
For 2019, Marquette is excited to announce that we will have a new online enrollment tool that will be administered by DirectPath for all benefit elections and life insurance beneficiary information.
This enrollment tool will replace MyJob for annual enrollment and will be used for qualifying life events and new hire benefit elections.
Marquette University has partnered with DirectPath Benefit Educators to walk you through the changes in your benefits and enroll you in your selections for 2019.
All benefit eligible employees must schedule an appointment with a Benefits Educator to enroll in benefits for 2019 due to mandatory re-enrollment in the medical, dental and vision benefits.
This is a one-on-one 30 minute telephonic appointment and any information you provide on the call is completely confidential and secure.
There are two ways to schedule your enrollment appointment:
- Visit: www.marquettebenefitsenrollment.com
- Call: 877-759-7668 (M-F, 8am -5pm CST)
IMPORTANT: You must have your spouse and/or dependent information (Social Security number and date of birth) with you at the time of your appointment. You will not be able to complete your enrollment without this information. You will also need to upload a copy of the birth/adoption and/or marriage certificate for any dependents being enrolled on the Marquette medical, dental or vision insurance.
Due to Online Enrollment Tool functionality, you will be unable to view your benefits enrollment alongside the Benefits Educator. Immediately following your benefits appointment a Statement of Benefits will be emailed to you as your confirmation.
After your appointment, you will be provided detailed instructions on how to navigate the Online Enrollment Tool along with your login information including how to upload any applicable documentation.
You will be able to modify any benefit elections for an effective date of January 1st after your appointment, however, please be aware that all elections are final as of 4pm on November 9th.
Uploading Spouse and/or Dependent Information Into the Online Enrollment Tool
Please visit www.marquette.bswift.com and follow the below instructions to upload qualifying dependent documents.
- User ID: Your 9 digit MU ID number (found on your MU ID card)
- Password: Last four digits of SS#
- You will be prompted to change your password upon logging in for the first time.
- Click on "Edit My Profile" > Click on "Employee File" > Select "View and Upload Documents"
- In the title section, name your document (i.e. Marriage Certificate)
- Select document type
- Click on browse and find the document on your desktop
- Click Save
Human Resources will begin the document verification process after the annual enrollment process closes. All uploaded documents will be addressed and dependents “un-pended” by December 21st. Employees will be contacted by HR if there are any issues surrounding their uploaded document(s). Employees have until 12/31/18 to upload the required documents.
After you upload your information and want to permanently delete the documents from your desk top, please see this link for instructions.
Look for more information on the annual enrollment process in the 2019 Benefits Enrollment Packet that was mailed to your home address listed in MyJob. You should have received this the week of October 15th.
IMPORTANT UPDATE REGARDING UPLOADING MARRIAGE / BIRTH CERTIFICATES
After much consideration, Human Resources has decided to offer a second option for uploading required information into the DirectPath online enrollment tool.
As communicated in previous emails, written material and verbally, an employee who is covering a dependent child or a spouse on either their medical and/or dental and/vision insurance will be required to upload a birth certificate or adoption paperwork for the child or a marriage certificate for a spouse for verification of eligibility.
Human Resources, in conjunction with the Office of General Counsel, has created a second option: an HR signed and witnessed affidavit. There will be a specific affidavit for both a birth certificate/adoption paperwork as well as a marriage certificate. If you elect this option, you will be responsible for filling out the required information prior to coming into Human Resources for official verification. Upon verification, it is the employee’s responsibility to upload the completed affidavit(s) to the DirectPath system by Dec. 31, 2018.
This alternate verification process can only be completed in person and on the dates and times listed below
Dates and times authorized HR personnel will be available:
Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9am – 4pm starting on November 5th through December 20, 2018 in Straz Tower Room 185.

2019 Affidavit for Confirmation of Birth Certificate or Adoption Paperwork
2019 HEATLH RISK ASSESSMENT (HRA) AND NEW INCENTIVE OPTIONS
To maintain a lifetime of better health, it is important for you to identify your individual risk factors and try to modify your lifestyle as appropriate. By completing a Health Risk Assessment (HRA), you will also receive the 2019 incentive.
Marquette University partnered with Aurora Health Care and Virgin Pulse to oversee the HRA process, including conducting the on-campus biometric screenings and providing educational resources to those individuals whose situation may be in need of medical support. We encourage all employees and spouses to direct questions to Aurora, Virgin Pulse or their primary care provider about their biometric results.
- CPHP: Participants enrolling in the CPHP plan will receive a Health Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA) contribution of up to $125 for Single coverage or up to $250 for non-Single (Employee+1 or Family) coverage for completing qualified wellness activities including but not limited to the biometric screening and completion of the Virgin Pulse online health assessment.
- AHDHP or EHDHP: Participants enrolling in the AHDHP or EHDHP plan will receive a Health Savings Account (HSA) contribution of up to $250 for Single coverage or up to $500 for non-Single coverage for completing qualified wellness activities including but not limited to the biometric screening and completion of the Virgin Pulse online health assessment.
Marquette University launched the NEW Virgin Pulse interactive, personalized wellness portal on July 11, 2018. Visit join.virginpulse.com/MarquetteUniversity to complete the Health Assessment and engage in wellness resources.
The Virgin Pulse wellness portal operates on a points and levels system, allowing you to earn points for engaging in activities of your choice here at Marquette University or on the portal. For more information on how to earn rewards and what this means for our health plan members and covered spouses, please see the information guides below.
HOW TO COMPLETE YOUR HEALTH RISK ASSESSMENT (HRA)
The 2019 incentive is based on earning up to 15,000 points for qualifying wellness activities which includes but is not limited to completion of the biometric screening (9,000 points), Virgin Pulse platform registration (1,000 points) and Virgin Pulse online health assessment (5,000 points).
1. The first step is a biometric screening which is a simple
finger stick blood test that will analyze your cholesterol, HDL and glucose. The
results are available in about 15 minutes. Blood pressure, pulse, height,
weight, and body mass index will also be recorded. You have three options for
completing this step:
Option 1: Schedule your 15-minute
Aurora Health Care screening appointment. Scheduling of these
appointments will be available starting in late September.
- Appointments will be available on campus in the AMU and Dental School areas Monday-Saturday and off campus on Saturdays only. On campus early morning, afternoon and evening appointment times will be available.
- Online Scheduling will be available for free biometric screenings. Click on the link or call 1-877-765-3213, Option 1. Please keep a copy of the Biometric results for your records.
- For those spouses completing the biometric screening at the AMU on the Marquette University Campus, parking will be available in Structure 1 (located at 749 N. 16th Street). For those utilizing the Dental School, 1801 West Wisconsin Ave., parking will be available in Lot S. (see Campus Map). Regular parking rates will apply.
- If you have a scheduled appointment, please make every attempt to keep this appointment as slots will fill up. If you do need to cancel, please call Aurora as soon as possible so they can re-open the slot for someone else. Results are best if you have fasted for 12 hours but NOT necessary. Please tell the nurse ahead of time if you were unable to fast. All normal medication should still be taken as directed.
Option 2: Have lab work completed by your Primary Care Provider between July 1, 2018 and November 17, 2018. Fax those results to Aurora Health Care at 414-525-2570 by 12 p.m. on November 17, 2018 using the Primary Care Provider Form below. There is a spot on the form to include your email address, so you can receive confirmation from Aurora once this is received. Please make sure to send in your Authorization for Disclosure with your results.
