DENTAL: We will continue to offer Dental benefits through TruAssure. TruAssure will pay at the 90th percentile of usual and customary rates for out of network dentists. TruAssure also offers 3 cleanings per year and white composite fillings instead of the silver amalgam fillings at no additional charge!
VISION: Vision coverage continues to be offered through Humana. With Humana you can obtain your eye exam annually, with coverage for eyeglass lenses or contact lenses every 12 months, and an eye glass frame allowance every 24 months.
VOLUNTARY WORKSITE BENEFITS (ACCIDENT, CRITICAL ILLNESS WITH CANCER & HOSPITAL INDEMNITY): Our Voluntary Worksite Benefits will remain with Aflac this year. While your medical insurance will pay your provider, these benefits are designed to cover some of the out of pocket expenses you may incur even with medical insurance (deductible, copays, coinsurance, etc.). These benefits will pay cash directly upon claim submission, so you get to decide the best way for you to use the funds. Regardless of whether you enroll in Einstein Charter Schools’ medical plan, you are eligible to enroll in any of these plans and can take them with you if you were to ever leave the company. These plans are a great supplement to your medical coverage to help save on premiums without compromising out of pocket exposure. They also contain annual wellness benefits which will help you to stay on top of your annual screenings.
Of course, we are still here for you! If you have any questions about Open Enrollment or your benefits options, contact one of our NFP Benefit Consultants, Charlotte Sawyer at 504-914-6871.
