Healthcare Options for Part-time Employees

Employees who work less than 30 hours per week may choose among a Basic Plan, an Enhanced Plan and an Enhanced Plus Plan. You also may elect dental and/or vision coverage.

My Favorites

The Aetna medical coverage option for part-time employees is not a major medical plan but provides benefits and discounts to help reduce your out-of-pocket medical costs. Fixed benefits are paid for doctor’s visits, medical imaging, prescriptions and hospital services. Though providers are paid directly, this plan does not pay the full cost of medical care. You are responsible for making sure your charges are completely satisfied.

You may choose between a Basic Plan, an Enhanced Plan and a new Enhanced Plus Plan. Enhanced and Enhanced Plus have higher allowances in exchange for higher premiums. Log in to Asurion Benefits Central to see your costs and benefit options.
