As an Alcoa employee, you and your eligible dependents are covered by a comprehensive package of health benefits that includes

  • Medical
  • Prescription drug
  • Dental
  • Vision
  • Life insurance
  • Disability insurance

 

In addition, you can elect to put aside pre-tax money in the Health Care Fund flexible spending account to help pay any out-of-pocket expenses when you or a dependent use your health care benefits.

 

This section explains your coverage options and also provides helpful hints so you can use your benefits wisely.

  

 

What's changing in 2013?

The credits you may receive if you are tobacco-free will increase to $880. And the credits if all your covered dependents are tobacco-free are also increasing to $880.

 

Beginning January 1, 2013, you will have the opportunity to participate in Alcoa Healthy Rewards. As part of this voluntary program, the health questionnaire you've taken during annual enrollment in previous years will now be administered in 2013.

 

Coverage will be available for nutritional counseling, tobacco cessation drugs, and weight management drugs.

 

Coverage changes for inpatient care and advanced imaging services become effective January 1, 2013. See your enrollment guide for details.
