The ECISD Medical Plan is a self-funded group health plan that provides hospitalization, major medical and prescription drug coverage to employees and, if elected, their dependents. Two plan options are offered. One of these options is a high deductible plan that is eligible for a Health Savings Account. High-deductible plans do not cover any expenses, other than preventive, before the deductible has been met. An In-hospital Indemnity option, intended for employees with another group coverage, is also offered. Hospitalization and major medical claims are administered by AETNA. The prescription drug program is administered by PCA-Rx.
