New enrollment suggestions are employees with employee numbers that are in your payroll system, but that employee number has never had coverage with Manitoba Blue Cross.

Reinstatement suggestions are employees that are active in your payroll system but are terminated with Manitoba Blue Cross.

Terminations are employees that show inactive in your payroll system but have active coverage with Manitoba Blue Cross.

The Sync button will send the Payroll data to Manitoba Blue Cross and save it in our system. Because the information will now be in-sync between our two systems, BlueSync will no longer show the difference.

The ‘Sync All’ button is used for one click transfer of information between your payroll system and our enrollment system for all employees in the grid. For example, if there are 33 salary differences, clicking this button will update Manitoba Blue Cross’ records for all 33 employees.  Please note that updating our records for many employees at a time takes additional time.  Please check back to the dashboard later to ensure all records were processed successfully.

The ‘Exclude’ button: There may be information or people in your payroll system, that you do not want to compare with Manitoba Blue Cross’ enrollment information. For example:

• You may store volunteers or retirees in your payroll system but do not want BlueSync to suggest new enrollments for these people
• You may store a salary in your payroll system that you do not want to compare or send to Manitoba Blue Cross

For cases where you do not want BlueSync to compare information for an employee, click the exclude button. This will stop us from comparing this information in the dashboard and remove the row displaying the difference. Note that you can always ‘undo’ an exclusion. See the ‘Manage Exclusions’ section.

Comparisons are still made for excluded records, any record that has been excluded will show on the Manage Exclusions page.

Exclude All behaves the same as the Exclude button, but this will exclude all records displayed for a category.

Note: This only excludes the records appearing on the Dashboard when Exclude All is selected. Future discrepancies for this category will continue to be reflected on the Dashboard.

Remove Exclusion is on both the Manage Exclusion page and the Profile page. Clicking this button will remove the exclusion record allowing it to be compared and shown in the dashboard.

This will take you to an employee’s profile page.

Exclude Profile is available only on the Profile page. This will exclude this employee from all comparisons on the Dashboard.

Active Profile is on the Profile and Manage Exclusions page. This will remove the excluded profile and all comparisons will appear on the Dashboard again.

The Save button is on the Profile page. Information can be manually typed in the Manitoba Blue Cross row. Clicking Save will send the information that was manually entered to Manitoba Blue Cross’ enrollment system. Once saved, comparisons will be done against the new data.

The Terminate button will terminate either an employee (and any spouse or dependents that also have active coverage) or a spouse or dependent. The termination date should be entered as the employee’s last day worked, or the last day the spouse or dependent was eligible for coverage.

The Reinstate button will reinstate either an employee (and any spouse or dependents that were terminated for the same date as the employee) or a spouse or dependent.  The reinstatement date should be the date the employee, spouse or dependent coverage becomes effective again.

Start Enrollment is on the Dashboard under New Enrollment suggestions.

Changes or additions can be made to any of the information BlueSync pulls from your payroll system, prior to submitting the enrollment.
