What do you receive?
The associate CIGNA/Starbridge health insurance program is a voluntary program with the associate paying the full premium cost. The associate must enroll within the first 30 days of employment to be eligible for the program. There are two distinct plans with different benefit levels and premium costs.

Both plans include a vision discount program, prescription drug card, and coverage for doctor’s office visits.
