Did You Know?
84% of workers incur less than $5,000 per year in medical expenses and 95% incur less than $15,000 per year in medical expenses*. This means the vast majority of employees do not incur enough medical expense to overcome their deductible and therefore pay out-of-pocket for all their costs. The ESC Fixed Indemnity plan helps pay for day-to-day medical expenses without the high deductibles major medical plans require.

NOTE: Fixed Indemnity is an excepted supplemental healthcare plan, not a Major Medical plan, that is designed to provide a fixed dollar amount used to cover basic healthcare needs.
Dental
The dental plan pays a portion of the costs for dental claims like exams, cleaning, fillings, and other dental work. The plan covers more procedures the longer coverage is carried.
Vision
The vision plan helps offset the costs for eye exams, frames, and contacts, and could even pay 100% of the total cost when using in-network optometrists.
Term Life
The Term Life plan pays life insurance up to $10,000 to a selected beneficiary. This plan can also cover dependents.
Short-Term Disability
The Short-Term Disability plan covers 60% of expected salary (up to $150 per week) for up to 26 weeks if the insured becomes disabled and is unable to work.
Minimum Essential Coverage
The Minimum Essential Coverage (MEC) plan is an ACA-compliant wellness and preventive plan that provides coverage for services such as screenings, immunization and vaccinations, contraception, dietary and nutritional supplements, and more. For those working in areas where their state government mandates that a minimum level of health insurance is carried, the MEC plan satisfies this requirement.
Minimum Value Plan
The Major Medical Minimum Value Plan (MVP) is an ACA-compliant comprehensive medical plan made available to full-time employees, covering inpatient and outpatient treatments, emergency services, prescription drugs, rehab, physical therapy, mental health, preventive services, and more. Once the deductible and out-of-pocket maximums are met, the MVP’s coverage can act as a backstop by paying for unlimited catastrophic care should serious medical treatment be required, offering peace of mind by protecting the insured from expensive medical bills.
