NNU Health Insurance Modification • After a review of health care costs it has been determined that NNU will no longer pay for the insurance coverage for employees spouses if the spouse is employed by a company that offers health care coverage.
NNU Health Insurance Modification • This cost, borne by NNU in the past will be phased out over the next year. • If the spouse’s employer offers health insurance but the spouse chooses not to enroll and the NNU employee wishes to continue to insure the spouse on NNU’s health insurance, the employee may purchase that option for $250 per month above the listed traditional rate.
NNU Health Insurance Modification This does not affect spouses: • who do not work; • who are self employed and do not have health insurance; • whose employer does not offer health insurance coverage; • who are currently enrolled on their own employers’ health insurance plans.
NNU Health Insurance Modification Implementation: • On the open enrollment form you will indicate: • Whether or not your spouse is insured by NNU • Whether or not your spouse works outside the home for an employer who offers health insurance. If so, • Whether or not you wish to leave your spouse enrolled in NNU’s plan at the cost of $250 per month in addition to the regular premiums. • Whether or not your spouse will enroll during his/her employer’s next open enrollment period. • Your spouse’s employer’s next open enrollment period.
