What are the health plan options?

We make it easy for you to choose not one level, but two adjoining levels of coverage. You pick. Your employees have the option to select any plan within those two levels. For example, you can control your budget by selecting a Silver plan as your reference plan while allowing employees to move up to Gold.

Creditable Coverage
Employers must provide an annual written disclosure notice to each Medicare-eligible employee as to whether their prescription drug coverage is creditable, which means that the coverage is expected to pay on average as much as the standard Medicare prescription drug coverage. Accordingly, this information is essential to an individual’s decision whether to enroll in a Medicare Part D prescription drug plan.
