What's New

What's New For Benefits In 2008

We've made a few modifications to our benefits offerings. Be sure to review these updates before you make your Open Enrollment election decisions.

Medical — Active Employees and Retirees

There is now a $25 copay for Kaiser Permanente HMO brand name prescription drugs. This change applies to Kaiser retail pharmacies and Kaiser's mail order program.

Dental — Active Employees Only

Participants who waive dental coverage will no longer receive a cash credit in their paycheck.

Vision — Active Employees Only

Our vision plan is getting better. Costs are going down and we've increased allowances for certain coverages, including contacts and progressive lenses.

Life Insurance — Active Employees Only

We've eliminated the $10,000 option and the cash credit that went with it. All active employees will now be covered automatically for one times earnings to $50,000. No election for Basic Life will be required, and it remains free to you.

Long Term Care — Active Employees and Retirees

Our Long Term Care is now a stand alone plan. You may stay in the old plan or move to a new one. Payment still continues through payroll deductions. Please see the package that was mailed to your mailing address for details. You can also find more information by clicking here.
