Benefits Information

Medical, Vision, and Prescription

UMR is our medical carrier. You can enroll if you are hired as or become a full-time regular employee and at Open Enrollment or if you have a qualifying event. Medical benefits begin the 1st day of the month after (or coinciding with) your month of eligibility (ex: if you begin 01/04/22 your benefits would be effective 03/01/22).

Employees who elect medical coverage through UMR are automatically enrolled for Community Eye Care (CEC) vision insurance.  You will be enrolled at the same coverage level as you are in the medical insurance, i.e. if you are enrolled as Employee Only Medical, you will be enrolled in employee-only vision.  If you need to contact CEC please call (888) 254-4290.

Dental

Delta Dental of North Carolina is our current dental carrier. If you are eligible and enroll in dental insurance, benefits begin the 1st day of the month after (or coinciding with) a month of eligibility. Dental insurance is a separate deduction and can be elected with or without Medical insurance. You may visit any dentist; however, by choosing a dentist that is participating in the Delta Dental network, your out of pocket costs will be lower. Once enrolled, you may print ID cards, check EOB’s (Explanation of Benefits) and more here.
