WELCOME
The Health Care and Benefits Division provides State employees/retirees with group medical, dental, prescription, life and other related group benefits in an efficient manner and at an affordable cost by administering a solvent, prudent benefits program.
Health and other benefits provided include medical, prescription, dental, basic life, employee assistance program, optional life, optional vision, long term care, medical and dependent care flexible spending accounts.

The wellness program offers options such as health screenings, spring fitness, and lunch and learn programs, which are designed to maintain and promote healthy lifestyles for members.
Since the State is a self-funded group, the Division contracts with administrators to process claims and provide customer service for each benefit. The administrators can assist members with their claim issues as well as general benefit clarification. The Health Care and Benefits Division also does formal reviews as the last level in the appeal process.
The Division strives to keep members educated and informed through regular member communication. Resources include printed materials, website information and forms, and in person education and training.
The Division is on the forefront of providing a Voluntary Employees Beneficiary Association (VEBA) account to members as a post-retirement vehicle to save funds for reimbursement of medical premiums and expenses, all tax-free.
