New! Medical travel and lodging benefits
To ensure that you and your dependents have access to necessary medical services, we’ve implemented a Medical Travel Program, provided through Kindbody that supports benefit-eligible U.S. employees who may need to travel for medical care not available within 40 miles of their home. We’ll reimburse up to $2,500 annually (with a $10,000 lifetime maximum) for qualifying travel expenses.
For those enrolled in the Cigna High Deductible Health Plan or who have waived medical coverage, please note that this benefit is subject to the Kindbody deductible, which is currently set at $1,600 per person and $3,200 per family in 2024. This deductible is subject to change on an annual basis.
You can find more details on the U.S. Benefits intranet page.
