Once enrolled in benefits, we recommend that you regularly review your contact information (mailing address, email, and phone number) with elected insurance carriers to make sure it is up-to-date.

Note: The Cigna medical plan will only cover one’s annual vision exam. An annual eye exam under the Basic or Enhanced medical plans will be covered in full. Under the HSA medical plan, an annual eye exam will be subject to the deductible. Additionally, Northeast Delta Dental offers a discount program to those who participate in the dental plan.
