Health Insurance
The College offers three alternatives under the group health insurance plan. If beginning employment on the first business day of the month, you are eligible for coverage immediately. If beginning your employment after the first business day of the month, you are eligible on the first of the following month. The college and the employee share the cost of the premiums. Dependent coverage is available. For Healthkeepers 25 HMO and KeyCare 25 PPO, the employee’s share of the premium approximates 30% and the college’s share approximates 70%. For KeyCare 15 PPO, the employee’s share of the premium approximates 36% and the college’s share approximates 64%. This cost sharing arrangement will be in effect through March 31, 2009. Employee’s portion of the premium is paid via payroll deduction and may be tax-sheltered through the “Premium Conversion” program.

The College may obtain competitive bids on health insurance when renewing coverage effective 4/1/09. Therefore, the provider may change to another carrier or third party administrator.
