How to Enroll
Here's a quick overview:
How to Complete Your Enrollment
Delivery - Initial and Open Enrollment
During annual open enrollment, Nextep sends eligible employees an initial email with instructions, followed by several reminders.
Access
Enrollment is easy to find! Log in to your Elevate by Nextep™ mobile app or desktop account. You'll see a banner with a quick link to enroll and make changes.
Choose Your Benefits
Follow the easy on-screen instructions to choose benefits. You'll see a running tally of your monthly costs. Click Submit when finished, and that's it!
Check Your Paystub
Select Pay in your Elevate by Nextep™ account to verify your deductions on your first paycheck after the benefits effective date. Report any corrections to Nextep.
*If you are a new client, your initial enrollment will have an earlier effective date to represent your relationship with Nextep and will include both health and FSA/HSA enrollment options. Then, your company will typically follow the mid-year health plan enrollment schedule with an October 1 effective date and year-end FSA/HSA schedule with a January 1 effective date thereafter. Your company's annual open enrollment dates may differ.

These plans may be available during open enrollment. Your company's benefits offering may differ from what is listed here. Log in to your Elevate by Nextep™ mobile app or desktop account to verify which benefits are available to you.

Answers to your questions
When is open enrollment?
We will contact you via email when your company's open enrollment begins. All enrollments or changes are effective October 1*, regardless of when the enrollment is received. Please note that your company may not offer all of the benefits listed here, and may have a different open enrollment period. Log in to your Elevate by Nextep™ account or mobile app to learn more about your specific benefit offering and timeline.
If you need to make changes after your enrollment period ends, our benefits team is available to help! Also, check your benefit deductions on your first paycheck in October. Report any corrections to Nextep immediately.
Changes during open enrollment are typically effective on October 1, but note that your health plan still runs on a calendar year. Your deductible and coinsurance, for example, will reset each January 1.
