Insurance Premiums

Health
Health insurance premium information is provided for all three plans (state, local education and local government) for active employees, retirees and COBRA participants. Just select your category from the listing below. In most cases this information represents total premium for basic medical only. For the Local Education and Local Government Plans, the premium amounts reflect the total premium prior to any employer contribution. Each agency has a benefits coordinator trained to assist employees in their insurance needs. This individual can provide specific premium information including employer contribution rates and employee deductions.

Dental coverage is an optional benefit with the full cost of the premium being the responsibility of the participant.

Long-Term Care
Long-term care coverage is an optional benefit with the full cost of the premium being the responsibility of the participant. The premiums listed are guaranteed not to increase before 2008, if then.
