SupportLinc Employee Assistance Program offers unlimited telephonic access to behavioral health professionals to help individuals with a variety of life and mental health issues, as well as three in-person counselor visits.
Limited Medical insurance is NOT major medical insurance and is not intended to replace major medical insurance.
Short-term disability pays you up to 60% of your weekly earnings if an off-the-job illness or injury prevents you from working. After a seven-day elimination period, you’ll receive benefits for up to 13 weeks.
Under dental insurance, preventative care, such as cleanings, exams and X-rays are covered at 100%. Enrollees have access to the largest network of dentists in Iowa and nationwide. That means you can potentially save even more when you see an in-network dentist. Coverage is also available for restorative services, major services and child orthodontia.
For eye exams and standard lenses, you’ll only pay affordable copays. For expenses like frames, follow-up exams, optional lens coatings, and elective Lasik and PRK vision correction surgeries, you’ll receive allowances and percentage discounts to help reduce your out-of-pocket expenses. The plan is flexible and gives you access to a nationwide network of eye care providers.
Accident insurance provides benefits to help cover out-of-pocket medical expenses related to an accidental injury. Benefits are payable directly to you for expenses such as emergency room or doctor’s office visits, X-rays, ambulance, hospital confinement, dislocation and fractures, and more. Benefit amounts vary by claim and plan type.
Critical illness coverage works in two ways. First, you receive cash benefits when diagnosis of a covered critical illness occurs. Second, it encourages you to stay healthy before a critical illness strikes by paying insureds a benefit for receiving a covered wellness screening once annually for each person on your plan. Dependents diagnosed with a covered critical illness will receive 50% of the benefit amount chosen by the employee.
Covered illnesses include:
Cancer insurance provides fixed benefits for early detection and treatment of certain types of cancer. It also includes benefits for other related expenses, including drugs and medicine, new or experimental treatment, hair pieces, hospital confinement, chemo, radiation and surgery. Benefits are payable for one wellness screening annually for each person on your plan. Benefits are paid directly to you.
Hospital indemnity coverage pays you directly when you or a covered family member has a hospital confinement. Benefits are payable directly to you and can be used as you see fit to help cover hospital bills, lost income, childcare or any other expenses.
