Adding Baby to Your Insurance Plan

Your little one MUST be enrolled in insurance within 30 days of birth! If you choose to add your baby to insurance, toggle through the following steps:

  1. Go to the “My” tab
  2. Click the “Benefits” tile
  3. Select “Birth” from the list of options, and enter the event date which will be baby’s DOB

  • Add your baby’s information and hit save, then follow the prompts to add the baby to the other benefits you want to elect.
  • For instance, if you are adding your baby to medical, click on the plan and then click on the link that says, “Edit Family Covered.”  Once there, click on the baby’s name and scroll down to confirm the child.  Repeat this for all benefits you want to add the child to, Dental, Vision, Child VTL.

You will need to provide Liberty with a birth certificate or some sort of official documentation of his/her date of birth.  It will need to include the baby’s name, date of birth, gender, and parent’s names. Please email any backup documents to megan.hardwick@libertyenergy.com.

Call anyone on the benefits team to update your baby’s SSN. You can also log into Oracle, select the “Benefits” tile, and update your family’s information on the left hand side.
