GROUP MEDICAL

Employee has choice of three medical plans. Benefits for these plans are the same; however, the plans differ in choice of medical service providers, deductibles, co-pays and maximum out-of-pocket benefit. Employees electing the Basic (non-network) Medical Plan pay a monthly premium of $46.00 for single coverage and $150.00 for family coverage. Employees electing the Network medical plan choose between two plans: one offers a 85/15 co-pay with 100% coverage after meeting deductible and 15% of $5,000 of eligible expenses (single coverage no cost and family coverage costs $40.00/month) and the other plan offers a 80/20 co-pay with 100% coverage after meeting deductible and 20% of $10,000 of eligible expenses (no cost for single or family coverage). Employees electing Network Medical Plans receive a monthly cash credit from employer to a medical flexible spending account. All Plans are self-insured by WITC. All premiums are taken on a pre-tax basis. Employees working less than 1560 hours per fiscal year will pay a different premium than previously stated for all plan choices.
