Your Lam medical plan coverage goes a long way toward protecting your health—and your finances too, in the event you need medical attention. But even the best medical plan won’t cover the unexpected expenses you’ll have if you’re diagnosed with a serious illness, hospitalized, or sidelined by an accident. For those, you can purchase additional insurance from MetLife.
Additional insurance for the unexpected
Expenses can mount when you or a family member is ill or injured. Your medical plan will help cover your medical bills. But what about those extra expenses, like meal delivery, rides, or help with chores?
That’s when this extra insurance can come in handy—especially since these plans pay you cash you can use however you want.
Here’s what the plans have in common:
- You receive cash for eligible claims, paid directly to you. You can use it for whatever you want.
- You pay 100% of the plan cost through after-tax paycheck deductions. That means you won’t pay taxes on the money you receive when you file a claim.
- You can enroll only as a new hire, during Open Enrollment, or if you have a qualifying life event during the year.
- You can take the plans with you if you leave Lam or retire.
This is not medical insurance
These voluntary supplemental plans are not substitutes for medical insurance. You’ll still need a medical plan to cover the majority of your medical costs.
Accident insurance
With this plan, you’ll receive a lump-sum payment when you’re injured and need treatment as a result of an accident that happens when you’re not at work.
- When you enroll, you can also enroll your spouse or domestic partner and/or children.
- The plan covers more than 130 types of accidents, including fractures, dislocations, second- and third-degree burns, and accident-related medical tests.
- You’re guaranteed coverage without a medical exam.
- You can use the money you receive for anything you want.
