Competitive rates with HCI paying the majority of the premiums.
High Deductible Health Plan: HCI’s medical insurance offers broad comprehensive coverage for you and your eligible dependents. All medical claims are applied to the deductible and once your deductible has been met, in network medical claims are paid at 100%. In network preventative care claims are paid in full prior to meeting the deductible. Both medical claims and prescription medications count towards the deductible.
Health Savings Account (HSA): Staff who elect medical coverage are eligible for an HCI contribution into their HSA in the amount of $25/individual or $50/family twice a month. Employees can also choose to contribute tax free. HSA funds may only be used for approved medical expenses.
