Are prescriptions covered? Yes, prescription drug coverage, through MedTrak, as part of all offered health plans.
What will the cost of my premium be? Premium rates are dependent on several factors such as age and zip code. Starting November 1st, you will be able to apply online to see your specific rates.
Do I have to pay for my employees or do they pay their own premiums? The employer is responsible for making payment of premiums for all persons covered through the employer to the health plan. The monthly payments will be paid through an ACH (a.k.a: electronic account draft). The employer is responsible for determining the cost split of the employer share and employee share, if there is one.
As an employer, how long must I offer the health plan? There is a three-consecutive year commitment requirement. If you terminate the health plan offering prior to the end of the three- year commitment, 40 Square Cooperative Solutions may retain all or a portion of your Common Stock purchase, at the discretion of the board.
As an employee, can I cancel my coverage if I don’t like it? Open enrollment happens once per year and allows you to make changes at that time without a qualifying event. Outside of open enrollment, a qualifying event such as, marriage, divorce, a spouse’s open enrollment (this is not a complete list) is required to make a change mid-year for eligible employees.
Are these offerings Medicare eligible plans? No, however, future offerings of the cooperative will be determined by the plan board.
