Employment Benefits
Health Insurance
Employees are covered through a Proferred Provider program. As an extra benefit, employees can use physicians out of network as well. There are no pre-existing conditions with the plan and it provides extended coverage.
For example, the plan will cover children away at college and employees traveling within the United States or abroad.
