Medical Benefits

We offer four core medical plan options that cover in-network preventive care at 100%. This includes well child visits, prenatal care, physicals, immunizations, and cancer screenings at $0.

If enrolled, you have an opportunity to earn wellness incentives rewards - up to $550 for employees and $350 for covered spouses/domestic partners.

All plan options include pharmacy benefits, too! There is no charge or deductible for most generic, preventive medications.

Dental and Vision

We offer two dental plan options for employees to choose from. Both options cover preventive care at no cost.

Our vision plan covers routine eye exams and eye wear (glasses and contacts). The plan covers both in-network and out-of-network services. Corrective lenses, frames, and contact lenses are covered every 12 months.

The plan does not cover both contact lenses and frames in the same benefit year.

Preventive
Care

If enrolled in one of the medical plans, employees and covered dependents can receive their annual flu shot, biometric screening, and all immunizations and preventive care covered at no additional cost.

Many of our offices host flu shot and biometric screening events on site, making it simpler for employees to receive preventive care support.

In addition, all U.S. based employees are given an annual Preventative Care Day. A paid day off for preventive screenings, immunizations, and wellness checks.
