Q. Is UCOR looking at changing our insurance back to one that is worth having like we had with Aetna?
A. Administrative Services continues to evaluate all insurance options to determine which company provides the greatest service and value to UCOR employees. Since contracting with BCBST, UCOR’s former insurance carrier, Aetna, has had an 18% price increase with a more restrictive formulary. In response to employee concerns, we are making changes to the PPO prescription coverage that includes copays (paying flat rates for prescription medications) versus coinsurance (paying a percentage of the total cost). More information will be provided during open season, but these changes should be beneficial to employees on the PPO plan.
Q. What was the result of the daycare survey? We never heard anything.
A. As a result of the survey, we have explored several childcare providers in the local area; however, current market demands limit their ability to offer corporate discounts or tropical shift schedules. Due to the high regional demand for childcare services, standard pricing structures are consistently maintained across providers. We remain committed to actively researching alternative strategies and partnerships to support our workforce in accessing affordable, flexible, and convenient childcare solutions.
