Medical Benefits
Anthem BlueCross & Kaiser Permanente Medical Plans
Anthem BlueCross and Kaiser Permanente are two of the most established and trusted health insurers in the country, known for extensive provider networks, strong commitment to preventive care, and innovative tools that make navigating healthcare more accessible. Members benefit from convenient digital resources — including mobile apps, cost comparison tools, virtual care options, and real-time claims access — along with wellness programs and 24/7 support services.
Dental Benefits
MetLife Dental Coverage
Everyone should have access to great dental coverage. Poor oral health has been linked to diabetes, heart disease, and strokes — making regular dental visits essential, not optional.
Preventive Services — 100%
Oral exams (once/6 months), cleanings, x-rays, fluoride treatment, space maintainers, sealants
Basic Services — 80%
Fillings, periodontal services, scaling & root planing, simple extractions, root canals, general anesthesia

Bridges & dentures, single crowns, complex extractions, implants, inlays & veneers

$1,000 lifetime maximum | Annual maximum: $1,000 | Lifetime deductible: $100 individual / 3x family
Out-of-network reimbursed at UCR 90th percentile. Dependent age limit: 19 (end of month).
Vision Benefits
MetLife Vision Coverage
Vision insurance helps protect the health of your eyes by providing benefits often not covered by medical insurance. Coverage renews every 12 months for exams, lenses, and contacts — and every 24 months for frames.
Disability Benefits
Short-Term & Long-Term Disability
If you rely on your income to pay everyday expenses, disability insurance is essential. Accidents and illness happen unexpectedly — disability coverage ensures you receive partial income if you're too sick or injured to work. Many disabilities are caused by common conditions like heart disease and arthritis, and are not covered by workers' compensation.
Short-Term Disability — Guardian
  • Coverage: Up to 60% of salary, max $1,500/week
  • Maximum benefit period: 13 weeks
  • Benefits begin: Day 8 of disability
  • Premium waived while receiving benefits
  • 100% Employer Paid for full-time employees
Long-Term Disability — MetLife
  • Coverage: 60% of salary, max $8,000/month
  • Maximum benefit period: Social Security Normal Retirement Age
  • Benefits begin: Day 90 or end of STD maximum benefit period
  • Pre-existing condition limitation: 3/12
  • 100% Voluntary Employee Paid
Accident Insurance
MetLife Accident Insurance
No one plans on getting injured — but accidents happen every day, including sports-related accidents. An injury that hurts an arm or leg can hurt your finances too. Accident insurance pays cash benefits directly to you, regardless of other coverage you have.
Two Plans Available
Choose Basic or Preferred coverage. Pays quickly when you report your first covered claim. Spouse coverage available (cannot exceed employee amount).
Sports Package
Benefits increase 25% for injuries resulting from participating in organized sports. Some exclusions apply.
Benefit Features
Guaranteed issue, no health questions. No pre-existing condition exclusions. Portable — keep coverage if you change employers.
Critical Illness
Critical Illness Insurance — Protection When You Need It Most
Heart attacks, cancer, and strokes happen every day — often unexpectedly. Your health insurance may cover some costs, but not everything. Critical illness insurance closes the financial gap and helps you manage expenses when it matters most.
40s
Heart Attack Frequency
Someone has a heart attack every 40 seconds in the U.S.
$10K+
Cancer Out-of-Pocket
Annual out-of-pocket costs for 60% of cancer patients exceed $10,000
60%
Americans Unprepared
60% of Americans can't cover an unexpected $1,000 expense

Two plans available with coverage limits of $15,000 and $30,000. Premium determined at time of enrollment.
Hospital Indemnity
MetLife Hospital Indemnity Benefits
Hospital Cash is hospital indemnity insurance that pays benefits directly to you, regardless of other coverage. If your medical plan has a high deductible, you may need the cash — especially with the average hospital stay lasting 4.6 days and costing $13,000.
Guaranteed Issue
Active employees age 18+, spouses/partners age 18+, and children through age 26 are eligible. No medical history required.
Renewable & Portable
Coverage renews automatically while you're an eligible employee. Keep your coverage even if you change jobs or retire.
No Pre-Existing Exclusions
There are no pre-existing condition exclusions — coverage applies from day one.
Life Insurance
Voluntary & Basic Life Insurance
Basic Life — MetLife
$25,000 employer-sponsored life insurance plan (must be enrolled in medical benefits). Protects your family from financial vulnerability in the event of a premature death.
Voluntary Term Life — MetLife
  • Employee: $10,000 increments up to $500,000; guaranteed issue up to lesser of 3x earnings or $100,000
  • AD&D: Maximum 1x life amount included
  • Spouse: Up to $25,000 guaranteed issue
  • Child: Guaranteed issue up to $10,000
  • Portable — take coverage with you if you leave employment (restrictions apply)
Most families need 6–10 times their income in coverage to maintain their current lifestyle. Life insurance can cover mortgage payments, legal or medical fees, childcare, tuition, and outstanding debts.
Pet Insurance
MetLife Pet Insurance
Pets are family, and vet bills can be emotionally and financially stressful. MetLife Pet Insurance offers award-winning coverage with more flexibility than other carriers.
More Coverage & Value
Covers previously covered pre-existing conditions when switching providers. Family plan covers up to 3 pets under one annual limit — savings up to 30%.
