New Employees - Welcome!

Your Coverage Details

Welcome to the Catholic Diocese of Columbus! Your health and well-being is important. For full-time employees, we offer a comprehensive benefits package to support you and your family, with the flexibility to make the choices that meet your needs.

As a new hire, you have 30 days from your date of hire to elect health care benefits for yourself and your eligible dependents (if applicable). If you are adding dependents to your coverage, you will be required to submit documentation to verify your dependents’ eligibility before the enrollment can be approved.Your next opportunity to change your enrollment will be in the annual open enrollment period unless you experience a qualifying life status change.

Evaluate Your Needs. 
Consider your prior health care usage and select plans and options that fit your lifestyle and needs.

  • Take regular prescription medications?
  • Anticipating surgery or non-preventive dental care?
  • Did you experience a qualifying life event this year?
  • Review your current plans to ensure you have the coverage you need.
  • How much do you spend, on both health and dependent care, in a given year?

Please review this benefits website to learn about your new and existing plan options.

A little bit of planning will help you select the best plans, coverage levels, and financial programs for your unique situation.
