Employee        
CF pays 100% of each eligible employee’s cost of health insurance. This does not include dependent premium costs. Like last year, CF will offer two health insurance plans that are compliant under the Affordable Healthcare Act.

Retiree
CF Retirees have the option to continue their health insurance coverage through CF at the time of retirement.  Premiums are paid 100% by the retiree.  If a retiree decides to cancel health insurance through the college, they will not have the option to rejoin at a later time. There are currently two health insurance plans being offered: PPO Plan 03769 and BlueMedicare (must be Medicare eligible).

Since HSA accounts are individually owned financial accounts, HR won’t be able to order a card for an employee.  The employee, however, can log into their Member Portal at www.healthequity.com and order a replacement debit card for themselves, at any time. 

Employees can access forms and other information on the member portal regarding their accounts.

Employees can also call our Member Services (MS) team at 866-346-5800.  Our MS representatives are available to assist every hour of every day.

If families need to pay more, they will be informed. The Sunshine Health Stars Full Pay Program is $230 with dental/$215 without dental. Some services may have additional small charges or a co-pay.
