Benefits Handbook

Pet insurance, from Nationwide, is made directly available to all eligible employees. Marsh McLennan's sole function with respect to the program is permitting it to be publicized to employees, collecting premiums through payroll deductions and remitting them to the insurer. Generally, eligible veterinary expenses are covered after you meet your annual deductible and submit a claim for reimbursement for your pet. You can visit any licensed veterinarian or specialist nationwide, with no limitations.

A $250 annual deductible applies to the medical coverage. Once you meet your deductible, you will be reimbursed up to 70% of your eligible vet bill¹. A $7,500 maximum annual benefit applies to both plans.

A pre-existing condition means any condition that began or was contracted, manifested or incurred up to twelve (12) months before the effective date of this policy or during any waiting period, whether or not the condition was discovered, diagnosed or treated. A chronic condition is a pre-existing condition unless it began after the effective date of this policy.

Payroll deductions, monthly and annual payment options are available. For the monthly and annual options, credit cards, debit cards and checks are accepted for payment.
