Health Insurance

All house staff members will receive health insurance and have the option of choosing between Personal Choice, Keystone POS, and Keystone HMO. A contribution toward the premium cost may be required, depending on which plan is selected. Contribution toward health insurance is made on a pre-tax basis. Coverage may also be purchased for spouse and children. Health benefits become effective on the thirty-first (31st) day of employment. House staff will be reimbursed for the purchase of bridge insurance to cover the 30-day waiting period.
