2009 Open Enrollment: Corporate Human Resources is Coming to a Job Site Near You!

ianbro is committed to controlling healthcare costs, without sacrificing quality, and to offering affordable health insurance to our team members. By building a team of informed healthcare consumers, who value quality and better understand true healthcare costs, team members and Cianbro will benefit. In support of this effort, the Corporate Human Resources team is visiting jobsites and meeting individually with team members who will have the opportunity to ask specific benefit questions, learn how to use myCIGNA.com to compare costs, review their claims history, and learn about the new medical plan option: the Choice Fund Health Savings Account, which we began offering in 2008. During Open Enrollment, the Human Resources team will offer personalized and individual enrollments at the jobsites as well as the availability of phone enrollment. Open enrollment takes place annually in the fall and is important because it is the only time of the year when team members
can make changes to their benefits outside of a qualifying event, such as marriage or the birth of a child. During this time team members will be able to elect the benefit options that best meet the health and financial needs for them and their family. Cianbro offers its team members a variety of valuable benefits, including life insurance and income protection in the form of short term disability. For this reason, team members should review their options themselves or with their spouse prior to meeting with the Human Resources team to enroll. Information about the benefit plans are provided throughout the year in the monthly Wellness Matters newsletter, on www.cianbro.net, and during individual and group jobsite meetings. The Choice Fund Health Savings Account that we began offering in 2008 will again be available during open enrollment for 2009. This new plan allows team members more control over their health care costs and provides a great opportunity for retirement healthcare savings. Cianbro
encourages everyone to take a first or even a second look at this new plan. During open enrollment we will also continue to offer some additional products which are individual policies that team members can purchase voluntarily. These include: Interest-Sensitive Whole Life Insurance Premiums do not increase with age and the policy is designed to accumulate cash value at a guaranteed interest rate of 4.5%. You could borrow from the cash value or use it to buy a reduced policy with no more premiums due.
Accident Insurance Provides a lump sum benefit based on the type of injury (or covered incident) you sustain or the type of treatment you need.
Critical Illness Insurance Provides a lump sum benefit based on the type of illness (or covered condition due to injury) you are diagnosed with.
These policies are sold directly by Unum to team members by a Unum representative who will be accompanying each of the HR Team members.
