Administered through BlueCross BlueShield
Because there is nothing more important than your health, we offer two medical plans through BlueCross BlueShield
of Texas (BCBSTX). You may enroll in one of two medical plan options. Each plan includes access to the BlueChoice PPO network:
- Gold PPO Plan
- Silver PPO Plan
You may visit any doctor or specialist of your choice without a referral. When you use an in-network provider, you will receive benefits at a higher level resulting in fewer out-of-pocket expenses.
Blue Access for Members (BAM)SM
BCBSTX helps you get the most out of your health care benefits with Blue Access for Members (BAM)SM. You and all covered dependents age 18 and up can create a BAM account. With BAM, you can:
- Use the Provider Finder® tool to search for a health care provider, hospital, or pharmacy
- Use our Cost Estimator tool to find the price of hundreds of tests, treatments, and procedures
- Request or print your ID card
- Check the status or history of a claim, view or print Explanation of Benefits, plus more!
Administered by Cigna
Keep a smile on your face and more money in your pocket with our dental plan. Having a dental plan that covers exams, X-rays, fillings and more can help you save money and live healthier. There are two plan options:
-
CIGNA Dental Plan - PPO
-
Cigna Dental Plan - DHMO (limited availability)
All employees have the option to enroll in the Dental PPO plan. As a member of the Dental PPO plan, you may use dentists outside of the Dental PPO plan network.
If you are enrolled in the DHMO plan, you must use in-network providers only in order for benefits to be paid. The DHMO provides set copay amounts for services received.

Administered through EyeMed
Our vision coverage is provided through
EyeMed, with two plan options available. While you may visit any provider, you’ll receive the highest level of benefits and the lowest out-of-pocket costs when you use an in-network provider.
Even if you don’t wear glasses, regular visits to your eye doctor are important to your overall health. That’s because a routine eye exam can often detect early signs of serious health conditions like diabetes. A group vision plan makes it easier to get the care you need and lower your costs.
The EyeMed Vision Plan features:
- Low to no copays for in-network services and materials, including contact lens fittings and evaluations
- The freedom to visit any licensed eye care professional or choose from thousands of participating ophthalmologists, optometrists, and opticians/optical retailers. Your out-of-pocket costs will usually be lower when you visit an in-network provider.
- Great savings in-network on the latest eyewear and brand name frames.

Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs), through Navia, allow you to pay for eligible health care and dependent care expenses using tax-free dollars. There are two types of FSAs — the Health Care FSA and the Dependent Care FSA:
Healthcare Flexible Spending Account:
Contribute up to $3,400 per year, pretax to pay for services not covered by your medical, dental or vision plan such as copays, coinsurance, deductibles, prescription expenses, lab exams and tests, contact lenses, and eyeglasses.
• Receive a debit card to pay for eligible medical expenses (funds must be available in your account).
• Eligible expenses include medical copays, coinsurance, deductibles, eyeglasses, and over-the-counter medications prescribed by your doctor.
Dependent Flexible Spending Account:
Contribute up to $7,500 per year, pretax, or $3,750 if married and filing separate tax returns to pay for day care expenses associated with caring for elder or child dependents that are necessary for you or your spouse to work or attend school full-time. You cannot use your Health Care FSA to pay for Dependent Care expenses.
• You must submit claims and be reimbursed if you enroll in this FSA; no debit cards are provided.
• This FSA can only be used to pay for eligible dependent care expenses, including day care, after-school programs, and elder care programs.
Use It or Lose It
Submit claims up to March 31 of the following year for expenses from January 1 to December 31. If you do not spend all the money in this FSA by March 31, per IRS regulations, unused dollars will be forfeited for pretax contributions.

Since accidents can happen at any time, it’s important to be prepared. That is why we are happy to offer voluntary Accident Insurance from Chubb. You have the option of customizing your coverage by selecting between two 24-hour plans to best suit you and your family.
This policy can help cover the out-of-pocket costs associated with an accident by paying you a benefit depending on the injuries you suffer and the treatment you receive. You can use the money as you see fit, whether to pay for expenses associated with your accident, such as an emergency room copay, or to pay for childcare so you can get to the doctor for a follow-up visit. The policy does not coordinate with any other coverage, so you can still receive benefits on top of what your medical plan provides. Plus, the policy will pay you a wellness benefit of up to $75 when you complete a qualified health assessment.

Voluntary Critical Illness coverage from Chubb provides you with a lump sum cash benefit in the event you or a loved one is diagnosed with a covered condition, such as cancer, heart attack, or stroke. It can help provide financial protection so you can focus on what’s really important — getting better.
You pick the level of coverage that provides the right protection for your family. During this enrollment period, you will have the opportunity to select up to $30,000 in coverage for yourself, up to $15,000 in coverage for your spouse, and up to 25% of your coverage for your child(ren) without answering any medical questions. Plus, the policy will pay you a $50 wellness benefit when you complete a qualified health assessment.

How The Plan Works
• Tom suffered a relatively small stroke.
• He was hospitalized for five days.
• He began rehab to get back to where he was physically before the stroke.
• Tom submitted his claim and received a lump-sum payment of $10,000.

Administered by CHUBB
Hospital Indemnity Insurance from Chubb is designed to help provide financial protection for covered individuals by paying a benefit due to a hospitalization. This benefit is paid directly to you and you can use it however you see fit, whether it’s to meet out-of-pocket expenses or to pay extra expenses that aren’t a result of hospitalization.
This policy is available for you, your spouse, and your children and can be used regardless of pre-existing conditions without undergoing a health exam. You have the option of selecting between two plans to ensure you have the coverage that best fits your needs.

Life insurance pays a lump-sum benefit to your beneficiary(ies) to help meet expenses in the event of your death. AD&D Insurance pays a benefit if you die or suffer certain serious injuries as the result of a covered accident. In the case of a covered accidental injury (e.g., loss of sight, loss of a limb), the benefit you receive is a percentage of the total AD&D coverage you elected based on the severity of the accidental injury.
Basic Life Insurance and AD&D through Lincoln Financial Group is available at no cost to you and is paid for by your employer. Eligible employees are covered in the amount of either $30,000 or one and one-half times your basic annual earnings, up to a maximum of $150,000.

LifeTime Benefit Term Insurance with Long-Term Care coverage through Chubb features premiums guaranteed for life and coverage for qualified long-term care expenses such as a nursing home, assisted living, or home care.
As Life Insurance: LifeTime Benefit Term protects your family with money that can be used any way you choose. It is most often used to pay for mortgage or rent, education for children and grandchildren, retirement, family debt, and final expenses.
For Long-Term Care: If you become chronically ill, LifeTime Benefit Term will pay you 4% of your death benefit each month you receive Long-Term Care. You can use this money any way you choose, and your life insurance premiums will be waived. Your death benefit will reduce proportionately each month as you receive benefit payments for Long-Term Care. Your life insurance will continue to help you protect your assets for 25 months. After 25 months of receiving Long-Term Care benefits, your death benefit will reduce to zero.
For Terminal Illness: After your coverage has been active for two years, you can receive 50% of your death benefit, up to $100,000, if you are diagnosed as terminally ill.
During this enrollment period only, you will have the opportunity to elect up to $75,000 in coverage for yourself and up to $25,000 for your child(ren) without answering medical questions. You can elect up to $75,000 for your spouse after answering a few medical questions.
