The information included on this site is not a contract. It is intended to only highlight principal benefits of the plans available. The detailed provisions of each plan are covered by the respective contracts. Every effort has been made to be as accurate as possible; however, should there be a difference between the comparison and the individual plan contract, the plan contract governs. It is the responsibility of each employee to read the plan material provided by each plan administrator in order to fully understand the provisions of the plan chosen. Employees should contact the plan administrators to understand and clarify questions concerning coverage.
