New Hire Information

Welcome to BASS

As a healthcare company, we understand that a comprehensive, high quality, and affordable health benefits program is now more essential than ever. Your well-being as one of our employees is at the forefront of our focus. We are committed to being a source of stability for you and your family. Throughout the year, we continually evaluated our benefits plan options to be sure we offer the right mix of quality, access, and affordability. Our analysis found that our health plan continues to be very competitive among employers in the marketplace.

BASS is pleased to provide you and your eligible dependents a variety of benefit plan options to help you maintain your wellness goals as well as those of your eligible dependents.

New Hires

Employees who average 30 hours/week or more will become eligible for health benefits, starting the 1st of the month after 30 days of employment

Acquired Divisions

Changing Benefits Mid-Year

During the year, you can change your benefit elections only if you experience a qualifying event. You must notify HR within 30 days from the qualifying event to make any changes to your benefits. Supporting documentation will be required. Examples include changes in:

• Marital status (marriage, divorce, legal separation)
• Number of dependent children (birth, adoption)
• Employment status (part-time to full-time or vice versa)
• Eligibility status (change in hours, job loss)

Annual Open Enrollment

This period occurs once each year and offers you the opportunity to make changes to your current elections or to participate in a benefit plan for which you have not previously enrolled.
