Health Plans

A self-funded group health plan is available to faculty with at least half-time contracts and staff working over 1000 annual hours in permanent positions.  Both the College and the employee share the cost of the group health plan. 

The group health plan functions as a PPO (preferred provider organization) plan, and utilizes our provider’s network.  As such, the level of benefits is dependent upon whether or not medical services are performed by providers enrolled in the network.  However, a primary care physician does not have to be selected under this type of plan and referrals are not necessary for specialists.  To receive the highest level of benefits under the plan, employees must use providers enrolled in the network.

The College will continue to offer the same premium structure as last year, a flat percentage of monthly gross wages.
