On the first day of the month immediately following your date of hire you are eligible to participate in the College’s group health insurance plans. 

Wagner College contributes 80% of the premium for a single plan, and 50% of the premium for a family plan.  The employee pays, through automatic payroll reduction, for 20% and 50% of the premium cost respectively.

At present, the College offers a point of service plan through Aetna Healthcare. The Group Open Enrollment Period takes place during the month of November.  You may however enroll at different times of the year if the enrollment is the result of a “change in family circumstance”. 

Information regarding the specifics of the health plan, including premium cost, as well as forms may be obtained through the Office of Human Resources.   Please be sure to report any changes that may affect the coverage to the Office of Human Resources as well as directly to the health carrier.

Copies of the College’s group health care plan with Aetna HealthCare and rosters of participating physicians, hospitals and pharmacies are available at the Office of Human Resources.  You can also access general information at the Aetna Insurance web site.

Wagner College contributions towards health insurance ceases upon termination of employment. You have the option of continuing your health care coverage through COBRA, solely at your cost.  The length of time you may be allowed to continue coverage depends upon the qualifying event.
