Medical ▼

Administered through Highmark

There is nothing more important than your health. CenClear Child Services offers an ICHRA. An Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangement (ICHRA) is a health plan that allows employers to reimburse employees for their health insurance premiums and qualified out-of-pocket medical expenses.

Our plan is the Highmark Blue Access PPO Gold 1700 HSA plan.

Under this plan, it is important to note that anyone who is eligible or enrolled in Medicare would be ineligible for the individual medical plan. Notify HR or C.H. Reams & Associates, Inc. immediately if you have a spouse or dependent that is Medicare eligible or enrolled at this time.

Key features: 

  • Virtual health visits - save time and get care wherever it's convenient for you. 
  • Preventative services - these are exempt from deductibles and coinsurance.

Dental ▼

Administered by MetLife

In addition to protecting your smile, dental insurance helps pay for dental care and usually includes regular checkups, cleanings and X-rays. Several studies suggest that oral diseases, such as periodontitis (gum disease), can affect other areas of your body—including your heart. Receiving regular dental care can protect you and your family from the high cost of dental disease and surgery.

Vision▼

Administered by MetLife

Driving to work, reading a news article and watching television are likely activities you perform every day. Your ability to do all of these, however, depends on your vision and eye health. Routine eye exams will help maintain your vision as well as detect various eye problems and concerns about your overall health. Obtaining vision insurance is a way to make sure you can continue enjoying good health as well as the sights around you.

Accident - New! ▼

Administered by MetLife

Accidents can happen anytime, anywhere and when you least expect them. While you can’t plan for the unexpected, you can be better prepared financially with MetLife Accident Insurance.

You’ve got medical, dental and vision insurance — and possibly a flexible spending account just in case. If you have an accidental injury, you’re financially covered, right?

Not entirely. Even the best health insurance may leave you with unexpected costs or medical debt, especially if you have a high deductible health plan or limited network. When faced with these kinds of costs, supplemental coverage from MetLife provides you with additional financial protection.

Critical Illness - New! ▼

Administered by MetLife

Contrary to what many people believe, medical insurance may only cover a portion of the expenses associated with treating a serious illness. Plus, additional costs that often come with recovering, like childcare, transportation, and grocery delivery, may be left up to you. Critical Illness Insurance can provide you with a benefit that can help you pay for unexpected costs, such as those that your existing medical insurance may not cover.

Handling the emotions that come up when experiencing illnesses such as a cancer1diagnosis, heart attack, or stroke is difficult enough. Worrying about your financial stability on top of this can obviously be overwhelming. With Critical Illness Insurance, MetLife can help you and your family have the financial stability necessary to completely focus on healing during a difficult time.

When critical illness affects your family, you’ll have the financial support when it matters most.

Hospital Indemnity - New! ▼

Administered by MetLife

Hospital stays can be pricey and often unexpected. Studies show that the average cost of a three-day hospital stay in the U.S. is $30,000. Even quality healthcare plans don’t cover all expenses, so taking steps to help protect yourself can make a big difference.

While in the hospital, it’s likely you’ll need various treatments, tests and therapies to get up and about again. Expenses like plan deductibles, co-pays for doctor visits and extra costs for out-of-network care can add up fast. Having help with the financial support you may need when the time comes means less worry for you and your family.

In addition, unexpected hospital bills can be difficult to manage when you lose your income or when your income becomes seriously reduced because of an injury or illness. Household expenses like your mortgage or rent payments, car payments, childcare payments, or household maintenance costs may become even harder to keep up with while you focus on recovering.

Whole Life - New! ▼

Administered by MetLife

Metlife Whole Life Insurance provides lifelong protection and a guaranteed death benefit as long as premiums are paid. Unlike term insurance, whole life policies build cash value over time, which grows at a guaranteed rate and can be borrowed against or used for future financial needs. Premiums are typically level, meaning they won’t increase as you age.

This type of policy can be used to:

  • Provide financial security for your loved ones
  • Cover final expenses, debts, or estate costs
  • Build savings you can access through policy loans

With MetLife’s Whole Life Insurance, you’re getting both long-term protection and a way to accumulate tax-deferred cash value, making it a blend of insurance and financial planning.
