Supplemental Medical

Last updated date: 6/3/2024

A serious accident or illness can be devastating both emotionally and financially. Although your primary medical plan may cover most of your cost, you may still be faced with out-of-pocket expenses that can add up quickly. Supplemental medical insurance offers additional financial protection.

Overview

While your primary medical coverage pays doctors and hospitals directly for costs related to your care, supplemental medical plans pay cash benefits directly to you — you can use this money however you want. These plans are provided through The Hartford.

Key features

Supplemental medical plans provide:

Cash benefits

to help you pay expenses not covered by your primary medical coverage.

Flexibility

to spend your benefit payment(s) on anything, including medical bills, transportation costs, child care fees, and daily living expenses.

Financial protection

against high costs related to accidental injuries, a serious illness, or a hospital stay.

2024 supplemental medical plans

You can enroll in these plans as a new hire, during Open Enrollment, or if you have a qualifying life event. To enroll, log in to OKTA to access UKG.

Accident insurance

Protects you from financial stress if you or a covered family member is injured in an accident.

Specified disease insurance

Provides financial support to help you manage expenses related to a serious health diagnosis.

Keep in mind

Supplemental medical plans only add to coverage provided by your primary medical plan. They don’t cover your day-to-day health care needs.

How much does supplemental medical coverage cost?

Supplemental medical coverage is relatively inexpensive compared to your primary medical plan premiums. These plans often work well in combination with a high-deductible health plan like the MarketAxess HDHP, giving you added peace of mind at a low cost. You pay the full cost of coverage through after-tax paycheck deductions. The amount you pay will depend on which plan(s) you choose and whether you cover just yourself or family members, too. To see your premiums and enroll, log in to OKTA to access UKG.

Accident Insurance

Accident insurance pays cash benefits to help cover the cost of treatment for covered accidental injuries that occur while you’re off the job. You can use this money to pay medical bills or anything else. Unless otherwise noted, the benefit amounts payable under each plan are the same for you and your dependent(s).
