The Member Request workflow is now deprecated in favor of Member Snapshot

New Hire Enrollment

The new hire member request is used to add an existing employee, and optionally their dependents to multiple coverages at multiple carriers.
Create New Hire Enrollment Member Request

Creating Employees and Dependents

Prior to adding an employee and dependent(s) to coverage, you should ensure they have been created in the Noyo system via the create employee and create dependent endpoints. Note: The hire_date of the employee will be sent to the carrier and the beginning of the coverage will be computed by the carrier according to the waiting period for the group.

The Coverages Object

The coverages array contains one entry for each carrier with which you would like to enroll or waive coverage. The carrier_id along with the schema of the carrier_config object will be provided by the Noyo team. You can reference the group carrier configuration resource to get additional carrier-specific data. The lines_of_coverage object allows the following keys:

Signature Date

Within each entry in the coverages array you can optionally specify a signature_date. The signature_date is the date when the employee or employer signed for the change to be made. If a signature_date is not provided we will communicate the date the member request was received by the Noyo system as the signature_date to the carrier.

Enrolling Members

You must provide an enrolling_members entry for each employee or dependent that is enrolling in coverage with the carrier. The plan_id field is optional in each action. If you do not specify a plan_id, we will try to automatically select an available plan for the member based on the current group plans. When the group has more than one eligible plan for a member, you will need to specify the plan_id in the request. Plan IDs can be retrieved using the group plans endpoint.

Enrolling in medical, dental, vision, accident, cancer or hospital_indemnity

Medical, dental, vision, accident, cancer and hospital indemnity coverage do not require any information beyond the member information and the selected plan.

Enrolling in life, add, std, ltd or critical_illness

Life, AD&D, STD, LTD and critical illness coverage also optionally accept volume parameter in dollars (e.g. $50,000 should be sent as 50000).

Waiving Members

You can provide a waiving_members entry for each employee or dependent that is waiving coverage with the carrier along with the reason for waiving the coverage. This information will be communicated with the carrier where applicable. If you did not capture this information and only have the enrolling_members information, the API request will still succeed.
