| 2010 Medical Plan ComparisonPlease be advised of the following changes to your medical plan options for 2010:
We are offering a new High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) which is available to all employees (in and out-of-state). This is a lower cost medical plan option which is subject to an annual deductible of $2,000 per member, capped at $4,000 per family. Along with this new plan, WHOI will automatically provide an employer-funded Health Reimbursement Account (HRA).
The PPO plan for in-state employees is being eliminated as an option. Employees currently enrolled in the in-state PPO plan will need to select a new medical plan for 2010 and will have the choice of 3 plans: HMO, Access Blue, and the new HDHP.
Good news about covered services for colonoscopies! Effective for 2010, all our medical plans will cover rountine colonoscopies at 100% as a preventive service. This will save employees $250 compared to previous years. Please note that in order to covered at no cost, the procedure must be routine and preventive in nature. Otherwise, you will be subject to the $250 co-payment.
There are no other plan changes.
