Check Your Paycheck Benefit Deductions
Your first paycheck in January is a good time to check deductions for benefits coverage you elected during annual enrollment last fall. Review your first January pay stub online through My BMC Compensation & Benefits, click on Access Your Paycheck Details.
Your 2018 benefit deductions may be higher or lower than last year, depending on your elections during the annual enrollment period. To verify your 2018 deductions, compare your first 2018 pay stub against the confirmation statement you printed during enrollment. Some of the items your pay stub will show include:
- Pay period deductions for medical, dental, vision, flexible spending accounts and other coverage you elected or received for 2018.
- Health Savings Account (HSA) contributions if you participate in the BCBSTX HSA medical plan and elected an HSA annual contribution amount. Remember, you can change your HSA contributions at anytime during the year.
If you didn't print a confirmation statement after you enrolled, you can find 2018 coverage information by logging on to My BMC Compensation & Benefits (Select Your Benefits Resources). If you discover a problem with a benefit deduction, please call YBR at 1-877-269-4849. Representatives are available from Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., Eastern time.
