BNY Mellon Benefits Guide
Welcome to BNY Mellon
BNY Mellon is committed to sponsoring health care benefits in an environment where health and wellbeing are aligned to drive superior results and outcomes, both personally and professionally. We strongly encourage you to actively enroll in 2019 benefits to help ensure you have coverage that meets the needs of you and your dependents. Your enrollment deadline will be included with your enrollment information.
Please use this 2019 Benefits Guide to find the information you need to make informed decisions about your 2019 BNY Mellon Benefits.
Please note: The choices you make when you enroll will remain in effect from the date of your eligibility through the earlier of December 31, 2019, or the last day of the month you transition to a status that is ineligible for coverage, including termination.
After your enrollment period, you will be able to make changes to your benefit elections ONLY if you have a "qualified life event" during the year (see the Changing Coverage section for more information). Your next opportunity to make changes will be during Open Enrollment for the next plan year.
Be sure to read this Guide carefully. It is designed to:
- help you understand your benefit options and their costs to assist with making informed health care choices;
- support your overall wellbeing—and encourage simple steps to living a healthier lifestyle;
- explain to you eligibility and other important benefit program provisions;
- show you where to find additional information that may help you make informed decisions; and
- provide instructions on how to enroll in 2019 benefits.
If you have questions, call the BNY Mellon Benefit Solutions Service Center at 1-800-947-4748, option 2, Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
If you (and/or your dependents) have Medicare or will become eligible for Medicare in the next 12 months, federal law gives you more choices about your prescription drug coverage. Please see the "BNY Mellon Creditable Coverage Plans" in the Legal Notices section for more details. Also, note that Medicare eligibility may impact your medical plan choices for 2019. Carefully review this document to ensure you make the right decision for 2019.
