Group medical insurance is coverage sponsored by an employer and offered to full-time employees. Because the employer pays a portion of the employee premium, group coverage is generally the most affordable and comprehensive coverage available for workers and their families.
The coverage available to you will be outlined in the employee portal at the time of hire or during open enrollment. (Article: How to find your current benefit lineup)

Did you know?
Medical plan premiums are “sponsored” or partially paid by your employer so they are the best value for coverage available!
These plans are also Section 125 / FSA eligible so your out-of-pocket premiums are deducted from you paycheck on a “pre-tax” basis.
You could reduce taxes when you enroll in sponsored benefit programs. Here’s how.
Voluntary, individual medical, dental, and wellness plans
Many employers and industries do not offer medical coverage to full-time employees. In addition, part-time workers are generally not eligible for coverage. Don’t worry, you still have health and wellness coverage options available.
