When you first begin at Montefiore and each year thereafter during the Fall Annual Benefits Election Period, you have the opportunity to elect your benefit options.

You enroll online at Montefiore’s Enrollment Website – www.montebenefits.com – or call the Benefits Enrollment Call Center 888.860.6166 Monday through Friday between 8am and 8pm EST. You’ll speak to an enrollment specialist who will help you enroll.

If you have any questions:

• About the enrollment process or the Enrollment Website, you can use the online Chat feature for assistance (Monday through Friday between 8am and 8pm EST). Just click on the Chat icon on the top, right toolbar after you log in.
• Regarding your benefits, contact the HR-Benefits Office at 914.349.8531 or at [email protected].

Verify Your Personal Information and Dependent Eligibility.

If you need to make any changes to your personal information, please email the HR-Benefits Office at [email protected]. 

• You are required to enter a Primary Contact name and telephone number. It is important for Montefiore to know who to contact on your behalf in the event of an emergency.
• Enter your family member information. You must include each dependent’s name, date of birth and Social Security Number.
• List your beneficiary designation(s) information for life insurance coverage. Be sure you have each beneficiary’s name, date of birth and Social Security Number.

• You may elect or waive coverage in each benefit area. To waive coverage, you must select that option.
• When you enroll, indicate whether you use tobacco. If you have used tobacco products and answer “Yes” to the tobacco use question(s), you will be assessed a higher tobacco user premium on your Medical (if any) and Supplemental Life Insurance. If you do not answer the tobacco use question, you will pay the higher tobacco user premium for Medical and Supplemental Life Insurance coverage – even if you are not a tobacco user.
• Make your benefit elections for Medical, Dental, Vision, Supplemental Life Insurance, Dependent Life Insurance, Supplemental AD&D, Buy-up LTD and Group Legal Services.
• You must make a Healthcare and/or Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account election each year if you want either or both of these accounts.
• Designate a beneficiary for your Life and AD&D Insurance.

After you have completed your “To Do” list, select “Complete Enrollment” to review your elections.

You can:

• Return to the benefits selection process and make changes, as long as the Election Period is open
• Select “Exit Enrollment” to complete the selection process and receive a confirmation number. A benefits summary displays your confirmation number. 

The benefits selection process is not complete until you receive a confirmation number.

To enroll a family member, you must provide proof of that individual’s family status with a copy of the:

• Marriage License or  the first page of your most recent tax return (1040 form)
• Birth Certificate, Affidavit of Dependency, final Adoption Decree or Court Order.
