What is the Health Insurance?
The health insurance is through United Healthcare and is a PPO plan. There is also dental & vision insurance available as well through the US Federation of Worker Cooperatives Benefit Association.
The health insurance requires a deductible be met for less common services. Doctor visits, prescription drugs, & urgent care visits are covered BEFORE the deductible met and is only a copay. Higher cost but less frequent events such as hospitalizations, MRI, and outpatient surgeries require the deductible be met before the insurance covers some of the costs. These items have an asterisk on the Benefit Summary (Category Below).
PLEASE REMEMBER TO ENROLL INTO THE CARE CASH PROGRAM! It's free money that can be used to pay for medical expenses.
The dental insurance & vision insurance are both PPO's and easy to use.

Vision Benefits: Through US Federation of Worker Cooperatives
We participate in the US Federation of Worker Cooperatives aggregated Employer Vision Plan through Ameritas. You can choose between 2 networks / vision companies with Ameritas, Eyemed or VSP.
The insurance is run thru Ameritas, but you then choose one network to utilize, Eyemed or VSP. Generally, Eyemed has very slightly better benefits than VSP (better premium contact lens reimbursement and very slightly lower deductibles). VSP however does have more "boutique" ophthalmologists in network whereas Eyemed is the largest vision insurance company in the USA (with VSP being the 2nd largest). There are links to search each network below (the monthly premiums are the same for either option.
Our Vision Insurance is a "no-brainer" if you use contacts / glasses consistently. If the premiums are less than your annual costs for vision care, this plan is worth enrolling into.
