Adding or updating dependent information in the Take Command system involves several steps to ensure your insurance plan and allowances are accurate. Below, we provide detailed guidance for various scenarios, including adding new dependents, notifying your insurance carrier, and making system updates.
Adding a Dependent to Your Insurance Plan
To successfully add a dependent to your insurance plan and update the Take Command portal:
Notify Your Insurance Carrier: - Contact your insurance carrier to inform them about adding a dependent. This step ensures coverage updates start at the carrier level. - Have necessary documentation ready, such as a dependent’s birth certificate, to verify their eligibility for insurance.
Upload New Proof of Coverage: - Once the insurance carrier has processed the addition, you must upload the updated proof of coverage document in your Take Command portal.
Update the Dependent’s Information in the Portal: - Log in to your Take Command account on a computer. - Navigate to the Personal Info section. - Click the gray box labeled "Add a New Family Member." - Provide accurate details of your dependent and save the information. - Complete the process by updating your plan quotes to reflect new household members. This ensures cost adjustments are accurate. This step will also help configure your updated allowance rate.
Important Deadline for Coverage: - For scenarios like childbirth, complete all steps within 6 days to secure coverage effective from the birth date.
