Health & Wellness Benefits

 Choose from a variety of options to ensure that you and your family have the health coverage you need and opportunities to promote your wellness.  Health and wellness benefits include:


Medical coverage

We have coverage options for you and your family, including comprehensive medical, wellness, behavioral health, prescription benefits and more. There is also a catastrophic indemnity plan option available. We pay for part of the coverage and you pay the balance out of your bi-weekly paycheck.

   


Dental/Orthodontic coverage

Our dental plan can cover you alone or you and your family. Coverage includes preventive, diagnostic, basic and major services, and orthodontics. Again we pay for part of the coverage, and you pay the rest through payroll deduction.

   


Flexible Spending Account for Health Care

With this plan, you can use your own pretax dollars to pay for certain healthcare expenses that are not covered under your health plan.

   


Alternative Healthcare Discount Card

For a small deduction from you paycheck, you can receive discounts from a number of area alternative healthcare practitioners, including acupuncturists, massage therapists, chiropractors, and alternative medicine physicians. Participants in this program can also get discounts on health products and services. See http://www.aho-network.com/openingpage.htm for details.
