Diabetes affects more than 40 million Americans, and Massachusetts is no exception. Millions more are at risk without knowing it. Recognizing your risk and the warning signs early can make a real difference for your long-term health. And if you are living with diabetes or want to lower your risk, your health plan through the Massachusetts Bankers Association Group Insurance Trust (GIT) offers tools, education, and coaching to help, at no additional cost.
If your bank offers a Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA), there is a fee to pay.
Our medical plan is already covered. Because your Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts medical plan is fully insured, the carrier pays the PCORI fee and includes the cost in your premium, so there is nothing for the bank to handle there.
An HRA is the exception. On its own, an HRA is treated as a self-insured health plan, so it carries its own PCORI fee even when integrated with a fully-insured medical plan. If your bank offers one, reporting and paying that fee is the bank's responsibility.
Pets are family, and caring for them can come with real costs. Through Mass Bankers, your bank can offer Nationwide pet insurance as a voluntary benefit, giving your employees a simple way to protect their furriest, scaliest, and featheriest family members without straining their budget.
