STC
Offers Members New Health Insurance Program
STC now offers
its members a range of health insurance options, thanks to a program
recently implemented in cooperation with Marsh Affinity Group Services,
a leader in insurance program management.
The new health
insurance program gives STC members living in the United States
a number of options. Those who value “freedom of choice”
may enroll in the Major Medical Plan (Traditional). Those who prefer
to choose from a prepared list of doctors and facilities may enroll
in a Preferred Provider Option (PPO). Both plans are offered to
individuals and to employers with a small number of employees. Self-employed
members may want to consider the new Medical Savings Account (MSA)
option, while some small employers may prefer a Health Maintenance
Organization (HMO) option.
STC members may also enjoy discounts on other types of insurance
from Mutual of Omaha. These include disability coverage, critical
illness insurance, life insurance, long-term care insurance, and
pension plans.
If you have
questions about the insurance options and discounts offered to STC
members, please contact the STC office at (703) 522-4114.
