When to contact your plan administrator
Stanford contracts with external organizations, called plan administrators, to provide employees and retirees with a comprehensive benefits program. Contact the plan administrator for specific information about your benefits covered under that plan, including:
- What’s covered
- How a plan works
- Where to find providers
- How to file a claim
- Claims payments
- Paying contributions or COBRA premium
If you still can’t find what you’re looking for, contact the University HR Service Team. Stanford Benefits phone numbers are featured in bold in the menu below
