Medical Plan
Medical benefits are offered through Oxford Health Plans. New full-time employees are eligible for
the Oxford Freedom Plan on the first of the month after commencement of employment.
Both in-network and out-of-network benefits are offered. In-network benefits require a
$15 co-pay for all doctor visits and referrals from primary care doctors to visit specialists.
In-network hospitalization is covered at 100% and prescription drugs are available at $5
(generic) or $10 (brand name) co-pay. All out-of-network benefits are subject to a deductible
of $500 per individual per calendar year, to a maximum of $1,250 family deductible per calendar
year. Oxford then reimburses members 70% of the "usual and customary charges."
Members may contact Oxford at 800-444-6222 with claim questions, or to obtain new cards.
You may also utilize Oxford's website, www.oxhp.com to obtain cards and check their
doctor network. Employees contribute towards the cost of the insurance based upon their salary and choice of individual or family coverage. The College reserves the right to change the employee's contributions, to modify or amend the medical plan design or terminate the plan. Contact Human Resources for more details.
Dental Plan
Marymount offers dental coverage through the Cigna dental network. New full-time employees are eligible for the Cigna Dental Plan on the first of the month after commencement of employment. Marymount has two dental plans under Cigna.

Life Insurance
All full-time employees may enroll in the life insurance plan the first of the month after commencement of employment. Life insurance coverage is through The First Reliance Standard Life Company. The life insurance coverage is equal to twice the employee's earnings, rounded to the next higher $1,000. The maximum benefit is $500,000. Employees do not contribute towards the cost of life insurance coverage.
Long-Term Disability Coverage
All full-time employees may enroll in the College's long-term disability plan with First Reliance
Standard Life Company the first of the month after commencement of employment.
The policy provides supplementary income to employees who have been certified disabled by a
medical provider. Benefits begin following a 3-month waiting period and pay 60% of the employee's monthly salary to a maximum of $11,500 per month. Employees do not contribute towards the cost of disability coverage.
Flexible Spending
This benefit allows full-time employees to set aside money from their salary for expenses they
know they will incur during the year. Employees may set up accounts for dependent care and/or
medical expenses not covered by their health plan. The money they elect is deducted from their
paychecks, pre-tax. Employees can elect to have deducted up to $6,000/year towards a medical
account and/or up to $3,000/year towards a dependent care account. When covered expenses are incurred, employees submit claims to our Flex Company, BSI, and BSI sends them a tax-free
reimbursement check. There is a two-year waiting period to start a Medical Account, but no
waiting period for the dependent account. Money elected but not claimed during the year is
forfeited under the IRS's "use it or lose it policy." Employees can only enroll in this plan
during Open Enrollment and must enroll every year to continue their participation. www.bsi-admin.com
Tuition Remission
After three months of employment, full-time employees are eligible for tuition remission
for courses taken at Marymount. The maximum remission per semester is 8 credits +1 non-credit
course. After 1 year of full-time employment, eligible dependents may take courses at Marymount.
Part-time staff may enroll in continuing education courses on a space-available basis.
Non-teaching, part-time staff must work at least 19 1/2 hours/week and have 5 years of employment at
the College to take one "credit" course per semester.
