Prescription Drug Coverage
When employees enroll in a medical plan, they receive prescription drug coverage through Merck Medco, which offers both retail and mail order drug coverage.
Dental Coverage
Mass General provides two Delta Dental plans: major and basic dental.
Vision
Basic vision services are covered using a network of participating optometrists through Davis Vision, with a reduced level of benefit available for out-of-network services.
Disability
Extended sick leave (ESL) is used for short-term illnesses and is accrued over time by the employee. Employees can purchase group long-term disability coverage that replaces 60% of predisability income (up to a monthly maximum of $6,000 after three months of disability), with specified offsets for other benefits employees receive on account of disability.
Flexible Spending Accounts
Employees are eligible to establish a pretax reimbursement account for health care and/or dependent care expenses. The health care account yearly maximum is $3000 pretax, and the dependent care account yearly maximum is $5000 per family (pretax).
Life/Accidental Death & Dismemberment Insurance
Mass General provides basic life insurance coverage. Employees can purchase additional life insurance and/or accidental death and dismemberment insurance to increase their level of coverage. Employees are also able to purchase coverage for spouse/same-sex partner and/or dependents.
