Medical

The State offers three medical plan options so that employees can select the plan that best meets their needs as well as access providers in their geographic area. Each medical plan provides comprehensive coverage, with different levels of out-of-pocket expenses and premium contribution rates. A Vision Benefit and Prescription Drug Coverage are included with medical plan enrollment. All benefit eligible employees also have access to an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) and Wellness Resources. Deductibles and benefits for all plans are provided on a fiscal year, from July 1 through June 30.
