Full-Time Benefits Overview

Medical & Prescription Drugs

Select Health Choice 1 or Health Choice 2. Both options offer the same features:

  • A Health Savings Account (HSA) (if eligible), which lets you set aside pretax money to pay for current and future eligible health care expenses.
  • Use any doctor you choose. You’ll save money with in-network providers.
  • In-network preventive care (according to federal guidelines) is paid at 100% up to the allowable amount and not subject to the deductible.
  • Annual deductible: All non-preventive covered expenses — medical and prescription drug — go toward meeting the deductible.
  • Out-of-pocket maximum (OOP maximum): Protects you from unexpected high health care costs in any given year.
  • Prescription drug coverage through CVS/Caremark: Certain preventive-care drugs are covered at 80% or 100% and not subject to the deductible.
  • Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) Therapy coverage for treatment of autism. Precertification is required, and services must be provided by a certified ABA provider.

Teladoc

For those covered by a PNC medical option, access to U.S. board certified doctors via phone and video conferencing is available through Teladoc. It’s a convenient, less costly option for non-emergency medical care, dermatology and behavioral health support. Phone consultations are available 24/7. Video consultations are available from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. ET every day. You can even earn up to $100 in wellness credits when you register for Teladoc or complete a consultation.

  • Preferred Dental Organization (PDO) with an annual benefit maximum of $1,500 per person.
