HEALTH Insurance

 

Memphis-Shelby County Schools offers medical benefits administered by Cigna Healthcare.  Employees have a choice of three plans with different deductible levels and premiums to accommodate your healthcare needs and budget.  The side-by-side comparison shown below highlights copayments, coinsurance, deductibles, and other pertinent information.  

 

For more detailed information on each plan, please view the summary of benefits for each individual plan: 

Eligibility & Enrollment Information:

  • Full-time permanent employees (working 30 hours or more per week) may enroll in coverage within 30 days of their hire date (30 days for a re-hire). Employees may cover their legal spouse (if they do not have access to affordable employer sponsored group coverage) and their dependent children age 26 and under.
  • Enrollment must be completed online at https://www.mybentek.com/mscs.
  • Coverage is effective the first day of the month after the completion of 30 days of employment.
  • You can only make changes to your health benefits during Open Enrollment each year or within 30 days of a qualifying life event (example: marriage, divorce, birth/adoption of a child, loss of other coverage, dependent loss of other coverage, etc.).
  • Enrolled employees and their eligible dependents will receive a COBRA notice to temporarily extend coverage under the Plan in the event that they separate employment or become benefits ineligible.
  • To view your personal benefits enrollment information, go to www.mycigna.com. For additional questions about your coverage, contact Cigna at 1-800-736-7568.
