Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance

Two separate medical and two separate dental programs are administered through SelectHealth and Delta Dental of Idaho. One vision program is offered and administered by VSP. The managed healthcare plans are designed to meet the varying needs and budgets of employees with available features such as a prescription drug program, vision care, orthodontics, and preventive care.

To ensure our plan complies with plan eligibility rules and federal regulations, we require documentation of eligibility for enrolled dependents (spouse and children).

Paid time off (PTO) is to be used for vacation, holidays, and short-term illness or injury. One year full-time accrual is 184 hours (23 days).
