Creating a portal account is easy.

They will state, "You recently signed up for access to our eServices system." First, you'll get registration instructions, and the second will provide the authorization ID needed to complete the process.

From June 5 to June 16, enrollment updates can be completed in Employee Navigator, however those updates will not be transmitted to the Dental Select nor Ameritas systems while this conversion effort is in progress. Beginning June 19, all enrollment updates will be caught up and sent to the Ameritas system.
