Medical Plan (MEC Plus + Globe Life)
The MEC Plus + Globe Life Medical Plan is a cost-effective medical option that provides preventive care and limited medical benefits for part-time faculty and staff.
While this plan offers valuable preventive care and additional financial protection for eligible services, it is not a comprehensive major medical plan. Employees should carefully review the plan documents to understand covered services, benefit limits, and exclusions before enrolling.
