Overview

You can choose from four different supplemental health insurance policies. For cost and benefit details and to enroll, visit the Mercer Marketplace 365+ website. Learn how to access the site.

Keep in mind

These policies don’t provide the minimum level of medical coverage needed to meet federal health care law requirements. Rather, they’re intended to supplement the coverage provided by your medical plan.
