Because there is nothing more important than your health, Williamson Health offers two medical plans through BlueCross BlueShield.

Employees (and their eligible dependents) that are covered by the Williamson Health medical insurance are entitled to participate in the Prescription Drug Coverage Plan.

The health system will share in the cost of approved medications purchased through this program. The co-payment amount will be based on the formulary level. Prescriptions may be filled at most area retail drug stores.

Get the care you need with a dental benefits plan featuring MetLife’s Preferred Dentist Program.

• There are thousands of general dentists and specialists to choose from nationwide, so you are sure to find one who meets your needs.

MetLife offers a variety of online tools for you to make the most of your coverage:

  results with your dentist during your next appointment.

Even if you don’t wear glasses, regular visits to your eye doctor are important to your overall health. That’s because a routine eye exam can often detect early signs of serious health conditions like diabetes.  A group vision plan makes it easier to get the care you need and lower your costs. 

The MetLife Vision Plan features:

• Low to no copays for in-network services and materials, including contact lens fittings and evaluations
• The freedom to visit any licensed eye care professional or choose from thousands of participating ophthalmologists, optometrists, and opticians/optical retailers. Your out-of-pocket costs will usually be lower when you visit an in-network provider.
• Valuable extras – polycarbonate (shatter-resistant) lenses for children up to 18 years of age and ultraviolet coating are covered in full in-network.
• Great savings in-network on the latest eyewear and brand name frames.

MetLife offers the Vision Health Library tool at www.visionhealthlibrary.com, which provides valuable information to better manage your vision health.

Administered by Payflex

The Flexible Spending Account allows employees to take advantage of the provisions in Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code. This Code section provides that payroll deductions for health insurance, dental insurance, life insurance, and child care will be taken on a before-tax
basis. This plan must always comply with the latest requirements of the IRS code and therefore changes may occur without notice.

Healthcare Flexible Spending Account: 

During open enrollment, you set amounts for the upcoming year (minimum $100 – maximum $2750) based on an estimated amount of medical expenses for the upcoming year. The amount is divided by the number of pay periods in the year and then redirected from each paycheck – before taxes – into your account. The Flexible Spending Account is provided by Payflex. You receive a debit card for most expenses, or you can submit your receipts and a claim form as found on the Forms section of the WMC intranet. Either way, the account reimburses you in tax-free money.

Dependent Flexible Spending Account:

This plan works much like the Flexible Spending Account mentioned above. At the beginning of each year, you decide the amount needed to cover dependent care costs over the course of the year. When you incur eligible dependent care expenses from any allowable provider, the account reimburses you in tax-free money. This covers most of the expenses related to the care of an eligible dependent so that you can work full time. If you are married, both you and your spouse must work full time, or your spouse must be disabled or a full-time student, to qualify for this account. The maximum contribution annually is $5,000.
