How can this help me?

Group Limited Indemnity (GLI) helps manage your health expenses, by providing a set benefit amount for certain medical expenses. For example, if you are admitted to the hospital or ER or visit a doctor due to an accident or sickness, the plan pays a fixed amount per day for a set number of days per year.

The First Health® provider network helps by providing discounts when you receive services from a network provider, even if those services are not covered under the MEC or GLI plan.

The Teladoc telehealth services helps by providing 24/7/365 access to board certified physicians via phone, video or mobile app. It’s an affordable alternative to costly urgent care and ER visits when you need immediate care.
What is Group Limited Indemnity Insurance (GLI)?

GLI Insurance pays a fixed benefit amount, when an insured receives certain services covered under the plan. These payments can help cover some, but not necessarily all, of the cost associated with the medical services and treatment you need due to an accident or sickness. The plan pays the set amount per day for a specific number of days per year, regardless of the fees charged by the provider for the service.

See the GLI+MEC brochure or GLI+MEC Spanish brochure for benefit amounts and annual benefit maximums.
Who is eligible?

Active part-time employees are eligible to participate in the plan. Eligible dependents include spouse, domestic partner, and both married and unmarried dependent children (including children of a domestic partner) until their 26th birthday.
When can I enroll?

As a new hire, you can enroll within your first 30 days. Outside of your new hire enrollment period, enrollment is limited to the company's annual enrollment period.
What if my employment status changes?

If you leave employment, your MEC + Group Limited Indemnity (GLI) coverage will terminate at the end of the month in which you leave.

If you have dependent coverage and you get divorced or your child ages out of the plan, their coverage will terminate at the end of the month, in which the event occurred. You must provide notification of the eligibility change within 31 days.
