Fixed Benefit Plan

The Fixed Benefit Plan through Aetna is available to newly benefits-eligible employees who are subject to the 90-day waiting period for state-sponsored health insurance.  Elections may be made for employee, employee plus one or family.

Unlike major medical insurance, the Fixed Benefit Plan is an indemnity plan which pays a fixed amount per healthcare service.  The Plan has limits on the type and frequency of services covered (including prescriptions) and is designed to offset a small portion of incurred healthcare costs.  Please carefully review the Summary of Benefits.

Premiums are 100% employer paid.  The employer contribution is considered imputed income and carries a nominal increase to taxable gross income.  Click here for more information on imputed income. 

Coverage under the Fixed Benefit Plan terminates automatically at the end of the 90-day waiting period for health insurance.  Click here for more information on health insurance options through the Arizona Department of Administration.
