HR Fast Facts: How Much Does It Cost to Add a Dependent to Health Insurance?
Learn about how employees can check the cost of adding dependents to their plan — along with when they’re able to enroll them.
During open enrollment, your employees may be able to see how much it would cost to add a dependent on their health insurance plan selection page, depending on their benefits administrator.
If they are outside of open enrollment, the only way to add dependents is through a qualifying life event. Employees usually have a maximum number of days after the triggering event to enroll a dependent in their plan.
