Hartnell College provides full-time employee health coverage through Municipalities, Colleges, and Schools Insurance Group (MCSIG). Employees also have the opportunity to voluntarily participate in supplemental District coverage
Full-time employees may select from a menu of medical plan options offered by MCSIG
(all eligible employees are covered by the dental & vision plan). The District pays
100% of full-time employee premiums, and 95% of dependent premiums - up to the cost
of coverage for MCSIG's Medical PPO $25 plan (aka "Base Plan").
Employees who elect to enroll in medical coverage that costs less than the "Base Plan"
coverage may receive the difference in cost (up to $200/month). This is a District-paid
"shared savings" contribution deposited into an HRA (Health Reimbursement Account)
on behalf of the employee. (For more information, see below, "Active Employee Insurance Cost Comparison Chart,"
and "District Health Benefits Overview"; also, visit the Section 125 & HRA webpage
by clicking the link on the left.)
