What is the Health Insurance?
The health insurance is through Independence Blue Cross (aka Keystone Health Plan East). There are 2 plan options, the PPO HSA Bronze & HMO Silver Proactive.
The PPO is best for people who do not reside in the Philadelphia area, do not want referrals, or wish to see very specific medical providers.
For the "Proactive" plans, all the local Blue Cross providers are in-network, but they are divided into tiers with some providers charging more based on their tier. Tier 2 & 3 providers are more expensive than Tier 1 providers. This is especially important for high cost items like hospitalization & outpatient surgery.

What is the Disability Insurance?
The short term disability insurance is available to you via payroll deduction ("after tax" money). If you become unable to work (i.e. "disabled", maternity is included in that definition), then the short term disability insurance will pay you $X dollars per month once you've been able to not work for 2 weeks.
Each $100 of monthly benefit (i.e. disability payment) will cost between $1.32 per pay period (up to $2.22 if over 50 years old). So if you purchase $1000 of disability coverage per month, then $13.20 will be deducted from your paycheck to pay for those premiums. In exchange for that, IF you are unable to work, you can collect $1000 per month from the insurance company (after a 2 week waiting period).
