YOUR BENEFITS | Programs to Protect Your Health & Well-Being

You have the opportunity to build your own benefits program that meets your needs and the needs of your family. The University of Maine System is committed to providing both a range of basic benefits and a variety of additional benefits from which you can select:

Medical Insurance

Dental Insurance

Vision Insurance

Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs)

Health Savings Account (HSA)

Group Auto & Homeowners Program

Basic & Supplemental Life Insurance

Basic & Supplemental Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D) Insurance

Paid Time Off

Short and Long Term Disability Insurance

Unum Supplemental Insurance

Tuition Waivers

Spouse/ Partner/Child Life Insurance

BASIC BENEFITS

Upon meeting the eligibility requirements, you will automatically be enrolled in:

Basic Life Insurance: Coverage equal to your annual base salary is paid by the University. Coverage is reduced to 65% of the salary at age 65.

Basic AD&D Insurance: This benefit provides additional financial protection in the event of an accidental death and protection against life-changing injuries such as loss of limb, sight, or paralysis. Coverage equal to your annual base salary is paid by the University.

Long-Term Disability Insurance: Long-term disability coverage provides income protection in the event that you have an approved illness or injury that prevents you from working for more than six (6) months. After being out of work for six (6) months, it provides a benefit equal to 60% of your base pay, to a maximum of $13,000/month, and continues for the duration of your disability or attainment of your full Social Security retirement age, whichever occurs first. The premium for LTD coverage is paid by UMS; therefore, the benefits you receive are taxable.

Retirement Savings: University retirement plans provide employees with the opportunity to set aside funds for retirement. Participation in the Basic Retirement Plan is mandatory effective the first of the month following eligibility. Employee mandatory contributions, University matching contributions, and the vesting schedule for University contributions are based on length of service and collective bargaining unit.

Employees have the option to defer federal and state taxes on their basic contribution by electing the Before-tax option. Employees may also tax shelter additional voluntary contributions. Contributions will be sent to an account in your name at TIAA.

Roth 403(b)/457(b) additional voluntary employee options. With the Roth contribution option, your contribution is taken out of your paycheck after your income is taxed, which does not lower your current taxable income. However, your contributions, and the earnings on them, are tax-free upon withdrawal in retirement provided certain conditions are met. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) regulations require that amounts set aside in the Roth count toward your overall IRS limits for the current calendar year.

These programs have benefits that may be due to your loved ones, so please make sure that your MaineStreet beneficiary information is accurate and up-to-date. Retirement Plan beneficiaries are designated directly with TIAA.

You also will be eligible to use the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) and accrue annual (vacation) and disability (sick) leave.

MEDICAL BENEFITS | Choice of Two Quality Plans

Perhaps the most important benefit choice you make is your healthcare coverage. UMS offers two excellent Cigna medical plans that are cost-effective, easy to use, and valuable to you.

Cigna Copay Plan

  • A traditional managed care plan with copays for some services (such as office visits), and a lower deductible and coinsurance for other services (such as lab/x-ray).
  • Utilizes the Cigna Care Network (CCN) for tiered specialty copays. Copays for therapists (such as short-term rehab and outpatient behavioral) are the same as the primary care copay.

Cigna Choice Fund Plan

  • An IRS-qualified High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) with an up-front deductible that applies to all services except preventive care. If you elect family coverage, the entire family deductible needs to be met before coverage starts.
  • Once the deductible is met, you pay coinsurance up to the annual out-of-pocket maximum.
  • The premium you pay for this plan is 15-20% less than the Copay plan.

Health Savings Account (HSA)

HSA’s are available only if enrolled in Choice Plan with HSA. Employees enrolled in the Choice Plan, an IRS-Qualified High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP), will be provided an HSA. An HSA is an employee-owned bank account where employees may set aside tax-free money for qualified healthcare expenses.

In addition to any contributions you decide to make, the University System will contribute $1000 annually for employees with single coverage and $2,000 annually for employees with two-person or family coverage to each eligible employee’s HSA. Please note that the annual IRS maximum contribution limit applies to all contributions made to your account, regardless of who makes the contribution. UMS contributions are subject to change in the future based on plan participation and available University financial resources.

If you are over age 55, you can contribute an additional $1,000.

Unum Supplemental Insurance

UNUM Supplemental Insurance offers voluntary supplemental plans that are designed to help employees cover unexpected healthcare costs and serve as a “safety net” for those who would like to consider selecting the Cigna Choice Fund plan but have concerns about the annual deductibles. Available options include supplemental hospitalization and accident coverage to help offset the out-of-pocket cost of deductibles, coinsurances, and/or copays or to help cover any increases in copayments under your current health plan. Unum Supplemental Insurance provides discounted group rates and payroll deductions. Coverage is available for yourself and your family and is offered on a “guaranteed issue” basis, which means you can purchase coverage regardless of your health status.

Accident Plan - Unum’s Accident Plan provides a lump sum benefit based on the type of injury (or covered incident) you sustain or the type of treatment you need. Examples of covered injuries include broken bones, burns, torn ligaments, concussions, and eye injuries. This plan also includes a wellness benefit that can pay $50 (per person, per year) if a covered health screening test is performed (such as a mammogram or colonoscopy).

Hospital Indemnity Plan - Unum’s Hospital Indemnity Plan pays a benefit when you are admitted to the hospital for a covered hospital stay. Coverage includes a hospital admission and per-day benefit (up to 15 days per year), as well as a flat dollar benefit for ambulance and emergency expenses.

You may elect to enroll or disenroll in Unum Supplemental Insurance when you are newly hired to the University, or during Open Enrollment. If you wish to enroll/disenroll, please call Unum at 1-877-702-3604.

Take These Steps to Get the Most Value from Your Health Plan

  • Schedule your annual physical with your PCP. Remember, there is no cost to you for this annual preventive care visit - the copayment or co-insurance is waived.
  • Whenever possible, see your PCP or use a walk-in or urgent care facility in your community instead of going to a hospital Emergency Room. Under Co-Pay plan, Emergency Room visits have a $100 copayment (unless you are admitted to the hospital).

Cigna Telehealth Connection

Cigna Telehealth Connection lets you get the care you need when you need it. Cigna provides access to telehealth services as part of your medical plan, in partnership with MDLive. MDLive is a national telehealth provider, with 24/7/365 access to board-certified doctors via video chat or phone. Register today to access treatment for minor conditions such as sore throat, fever, colds, flu, rashes, shingles, and more. Enrolled members on the Copay Plan have a $0 copay when utilizing a Cigna MDLive telehealth provider.

Telehealth services can be a cost-effective alternative to a doctor’s office or non-urgent ER visit. However, they are not intended to replace your primary care relationship or for use with life-threatening emergencies. Call MDLive at 1-888-726-3171 or download the myCigna app to get access to MDLive and register.

Omada Diabetes Prevention Program

UMS offers the Cigna Diabetes Prevention Program provided in collaboration with Omada. This CDC-recognized digital lifestyle program focuses on helping employees reduce their risk of developing diabetes through healthy weight loss. Eligible participants in the program will receive a wireless smart scale that connects to a personalized online account, making tracking simple. Participants will also receive support from social groups and Omada health coaches, as well as interactive training lessons on healthy eating, physical activity, sleep, and stress. University of Maine System employees have lost more than 2,700 pounds and have partnered together with Omada in working towards a healthier lifestyle. Visit www.omadahealth.com/ums to see if you’re eligible.

Amplifon Hearing Healthcare Program

Cigna members have access to a hearing aid benefit through their partnership with Amplifon. This benefit provides access to a licensed Amplifon hearing specialist, discounted prices on hundreds of brand-name hearing aids (with a 60-day risk-free trial and three year warranty), and free batteries. To access your hearing benefits, call Amplifon at 1-888-207-2798.


Complete Level 1 of the UMS Wellness Incentive Program:

For information about Level 1 and Level 2 requirements, please review your 2023 Wellness Guide available in early December for more information.

  • Within 90 days of your effective date of enrollment in the health plan (and generally by April 30 of each year thereafter), complete Level 1 to qualify for reduced health insurance premiums and to avoid an increase in premiums.
  • You and your covered spouse/domestic partner must both participate.
  • Your health insurance contributions, which default to the incentive rate for the first 90 days, will remain at this level if you and your covered spouse/partner both qualify for Level 1. If either or both of you do not qualify, employee contributions will increase to the non-incentive premium rate.

Please wait up to three weeks after enrolling in the health plan before attempting to register for the UMS Wellness program. Look for more information in your 2023 Wellness Guide available in early December.

  1. Complete a health coaching session with TrestleTree. (Coaching is available by appointment only and can be scheduled by calling 1-855-580-2797).

    OR

  2. Visit your physician to complete an annual preventive care exam.

DENTAL & VISION BENEFITS | Overall Health

Good dental and eye care is essential to maintaining good health. That’s why the University offers dental and vision plans that cover routine check-ups and additional services for your health.

Dental Benefits

UMS understands how important good oral health is to your overall health. Our dental program is administered by Northeast Delta Dental, the nation’s leading dental benefits provider.

Employees will continue to have their choice of the same three dental plans for dental coverage. These plans are designed to allow you to choose the balance that is right for you between payroll deductions and the cost of care when you need it.  It is up to you to choose the plan that best matches the needs of you and your family.  Please see the chart below for an overview of coverage available in each plan option. The traditional plan will continue to offer free individual coverage for eligible, full-time, regular employees.

All plans include access to Northeast Delta Dental’s extensive national networks – PPO, with more than 371,236 participating dentist locations, and Premier, the largest dental network in the country with more than 436,612 dentist locations. Four out of five dentists nationwide participate in one or both of these networks.

We encourage you to use in-network dentists; they will submit claims for you and annual maximum benefits will last longer due to discounted rates.  Visit Northeast Delta Dental's website to find an in-network dentist today. You may still use non-participating dentists – your out-of-pocket costs, however, will likely be more.

Vision Benefits – EYEMED

Employees can elect vision coverage for themselves and their families. The cost of coverage is deducted on a before-tax basis.  The Vision plan utilizes a network of retail and private practice optometrists; benefits are higher when network providers are utilized. EyeMed offers several “value-added” features such as access to glasses.com and contactsdirect.com, as well as additional discounts on in-store purchases. They also have an app that allows you to find network providers and get directions instantly.

LIFE & FINANCIAL BENEFITS | Providing Peace of Mind

Supplemental Life and Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D) Insurance

Our life and accidental death and dismemberment policies are insured by The Standard, to help you protect what matters most. UMS will continue to provide basic life, basic AD&D, and long-term disability coverage to eligible employees. You can purchase additional life or disability coverage as described below.

In addition to the basic life insurance benefits offered to you through the University of Maine System, you may buy additional protection for yourself and your family. Note that some elections may require Evidence of Insurability. Supplemental (optional) life coverage and applicable premiums for you reduce upon attainment of age 65; however, premium increases resulting from reaching a higher age-based premium category do not increase until the following January 1. If both you and your spouse work at the University of Maine System, you both cannot elect coverage for your children (double coverage). Premiums are deducted on an after-tax basis and benefits paid are not subject to taxation.

Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) – Not eligible if enrolling into the Choice HSA Plan

A Flexible Spending Account (FSA) is a program that helps you pay for health care and dependent care costs using tax-free dollars. You decide how much money you would like to contribute and each pay period, your contribution is deducted from your paycheck on a pre-tax basis and is put into the Healthcare FSA, the Dependent Care FSA, or both. Once enrolled, you will be issued an FSA Debit Card that can be used to make eligible purchases or payments. Or you may complete a claim form and provide detailed bills and receipts to get reimbursed. Up to $500 of unused healthcare funds will be carried over to the next year. All remaining healthcare funds over $610 will be forfeited, and federal law requires you to use all of the money in the Daycare account each year, so plan carefully.

IRS regulations require that you to re-enroll in the FSA plan of your choice each calendar year, even if you don’t wish to change your overall coverage approach.

Disability Insurance

The goal of disability coverage is to protect your income in the event of an illness or injury that prevents you from working. Both short-term and long-term disability programs are insured by Liberty Mutual, which reviews and approves all claims.

Short-Term Disability (not available to part-time faculty): Employees purchase coverage on an after-tax basis. Benefits commence after a 14-calendar day waiting period and replace 60% of your base salary, up to a maximum weekly benefit of $1,000. Benefits can last up to 26 weeks.

Long-Term Disability: Provided by the University to eligible employees, the coverage provides 60% of your base salary up to a maximum monthly benefit of $13,000 after a six-month waiting period.

The University embraces an active rehabilitation and back-to-work program, and partners with our employees to assist you during this period of time.
