Health Insurance

General Information

The health insurance program for PSU employees is administered by the State Employee Health Plan. Information about plans, HealthQuest wellness program, employee webinars and other information are available on the SEHP web page: https://healthbenefitsprogram.ks.gov/sehbp-welcome. For assistance with health plans and MAP enrollment and change issues, contact SEHP. Contact information is available on the SEHP web site.


Health Insurance Eligibility

State Employee Health Plan coverage will be effective as of the hire date and employees have 30 days to make their selections.  Enrolling as soon possible after hire will help ensure you receive insurance cards timely and that payroll deductions begin timely. If a new employee misses this deadline, the next opportunity to elect coverage will be during the Open Enrollment period held in October of each year with coverage effective January 1 of the following year.

 

Membership Administration Portal (MAP)

Employees use the SEHP Membership Administration Portal (MAP) to enroll in health plans and make changes. Access MAP by clicking on the MAP Portal button on the PSU HR webpage (see below). You will use your PSU SSO credentials to log into MAP with this link. Do not use the MAP link on the SEHP web site.
