Online benefits orientation for new employees announced

To support centralized benefits processing, the State Personnel Department will offer an Online Benefits Orientation for new employees every Tuesday from 9 to 10:30 a.m (EST).  The first session will be hosted Feb. 2. 
 
Each session will provide an overview of our benefit plan options and how to select benefit choices via PeopleSoft self service. Employees will be able to submit questions by using the webinar’s chat feature and receive a response before the end of the session. 
 
Employees may register to attend the online session by sending the following information to Don Fuller (dfuller@spd.in.gov or 317-232-3282):

  • Employee name
  • Agency
  • Employee e-mail address

Upon registering, employees will receive an e-mail confirmation with directions to access the online webinar session.  Questions regarding Online Benefits Orientation may be directed to Don Fuller or the Benefits Hotline at 1/877-248-0007.

2010 Health Plans

Regardless of which plan you select, the state shares a burden of the cost with employees. The state’s contribution to each premium is substantial. In 2010, the state will contribute $4,712.76 to each single coverage health care plan. For each health care plan with family coverage, the state will pay $13,130.52 per plan in 2010.

Prescriptions and pharmacy needs

While there is a new administrator for the program, Medco Pharmacy, the changes should be nominal. State employees will receive a Welcome Package from Medco in early December, outlining the procedures for ordering prescriptions and refills.

Temporary prescription ID cards

A convenient feature on the Medco website allows you to print a temporary prescription ID card for use at a participating retail pharmacy. This feature can also be handy if you need to quickly find your member information in order to call Member Services or fill out a mail-order form. (Find out more)
