Symetra Select Benefit Policy

Symetra Select Benefit Policies have an established set dollar amount for doctor visits, X-rays, and hospital stays. Symetra policies are available in all states except New York, Hawaii, and New Hampshire. In order to qualify for the plan, at least 10% of all eligible employees must be enrolled or five employees, whichever is greater.

The plan is fairly flexible. Preexisting conditions are covered except for conditions listed on the exclusion and limitation list. Deductibles are covered under the policy except for certain dental deductibles and prescription co-pays. Lastly, PPO networks are not required, but available for an additional charge.

The Symetra policy is designed as extra coverage to supplement coverage already in effect, offer less comprehensive coverage to employees that do not qualify for full medical coverage, replace a high deductible medical plan, or cannot afford the expensive plans that are currently on the market.

Monthly and hourly plans can be customized depending on the needs of the business’s employees. Monthly plans are billed the same every month per the policy. On the other hand, hourly plans require the premium to be billed according to the number of hours the employee works. The more hours the employee works, the better the benefits. The hours and benefits are based on the amount of hours worked the previous month.

Symetra Shared Maximum Benefit Option

Symetra Shared Maximum Benefit Option is another policy offered by Symetra. Under this policy, insured’s have the option of sharing a maximum benefit for the preselected core benefits.

Core buy ups require the employer to pay 100% of the coverage. Employees can then pay additional for added benefits called “buy ups”. Buy ups are not required; they are strictly voluntary.

Rates depend on who is covered on the policy. Single policies only cover the individual. Tiered policies separate the pricing for employees and their dependents. Lastly, composite policies include the employee and all eligible dependents.

Symetra Agents

Symetra Agents are independent agents and brokers, benefits consultants, and financial institutions who are educated in which states are able to underwrite for Symetra.
