Medical Benefits
The medical coverage offered by Metro is designed to protect you and your family in the event of illness or injury that brings costly, and often unexpected, health care expenses. Because this protection is so important, Metro requires that all employees have medical insurance, either through Metro’s plan or another plan, for example, one sponsored by your spouse’s employer (see Opting Out of Medical Coverage).
With two medical options to choose from, you have the flexibility to select the approach that best suits your needs:
- The BlueCross/BlueShield plan is a preferred provider organization (PPO)
- CIGNA Choice Fund (a Health Reimbursement Arrangement)
