Smokers status question for open enrollment

karen-fields

Does anyone have experience using the smoker status option in GHR for their Benefits open enrollment event? It looks like it can only be used with a options amount range, flat contributions or salary or coverage rate table.

I am wondering what the difference is between an Options Amount vs. an Options Amount Range contribution type?

If our plans are currently set up as Options Amount would we need to create new plans that use Options Amount Range instead in order to utilize the smokers status option?

Hi Karen,

If your current plans are set up as "Options Amount," and you want to introduce a smokers status option that affects the contribution amount, it is likely that you would need to create new plans using the "Options Amount Range" contribution type. This would allow you to define different contribution amounts based on the smoker's status option, providing a more tailored approach to benefit offerings.
