Benefits Overview
MEDICAL & RX
Medical and Prescription Drug Coverage
Neighborly offers two medical plans and prescription drug coverage through Blue Cross Blue Shield and Express Scripts (ESI). You have a choice between a High Deductible Health (HDHP) Plan and a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plan. With both plans, you will always pay less if you use a BCBSTX in-network provider or facility. Neighborly utilizes the BlueChoicePPO network. Plan rates are available in the Total Rewards Guide.
To support the overall health and wellness of our Associates by discouraging the use of tobacco products, if you are covered under a Neighborly medical plan and are currently using tobacco when you enroll, you will pay $40 per month more for medical coverage. If you engage with resources available on Smokefree.gov and submit proof (i.e. screen capture) to people.services@nbly.com by the 15th of any month, the reduction in monthly medical premium will be applied on the first payroll of the following month.

Benefits Overview
SPENDING ACCOUNTS
Health Savings Account
If you participate in the BCBS High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP), you can use a Health Savings Account (HSA), administered by Optum Bank, to help pay for qualified medical, dental, and vision expenses on a pre-tax basis.
Eligibility - To be eligible for an HSA, in addition to being enrolled in a HDHP, you also must not:
- Be covered by another health care plan, such as a health plan sponsored by your spouse’s employer, a general-purpose Flexible Spending Account, Medicare parts A, B, or D
- Have received VA benefits within the last three months or be enrolled in Tricare
- Be claimed as a dependent on another individual’s federal tax return
Advantages - An HSA is one of the best ways to save for future health care expenses. Money goes in tax-free, grows tax-free, and comes out tax-free. If you participate in a HDHP and enroll in an HSA, Neighborly will deposit money in your HSA ($1,000 yearly/$38.46 biweekly for Associate-only coverage, $2,000 yearly/$76.92 biweekly for Family coverage). Employer funding will be prorated and added to eligible accounts on biweekly schedule. You can also contribute pre-tax dollars to your HSA. You decide when to spend this money on eligible health care expenses, and it’s always yours — even if you leave the company.
How to Use the HSA - You can your debit card provided by Optum Bank to pay for eligible health care expenses. You can also use online bill pay to pay a doctor or hospital bill or to reimburse yourself for an eligible health care expense that you pay for out of your pocket.
You can access your HSA by calling 800-243-5543 or by logging onto www.optumbank.com.
Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account
(DCFSA)
Dependent Care FSAs can be used to pay for expenses associated with caring for your dependents while you’re at work, like daycare centers, babysitters, summer day camp, and eldercare.
You can make pre-tax contributions of up to $5,000 per household. All funds must be submitted for reimbursement for the year in which they are contributed; funds do not rollover.
You may contact Discovery Benefits at 866-451-3399 or at http://www.discoverybenefits.com
How it Works:
The money you set aside is excluded from your gross income. That means it is not subject to Federal Income Tax, Social Security, Medicare, and in most cases, state and local taxes. This lowers your taxable income and increases your spendable income. Depending on your tax situation, you could save 20-40% on expenses you would be paying anyway.
Benefits Overview
LIFE, ANCILLARY & DISABILITY
Basic Life and Basic AD&D Insurance
Life Insurance is often one of the cornerstones of financial planning. Should the unexpected happen, life insurance can help safeguard your family needs. Neighborly-paid basic life insurance and accidental death & dismemberment (AD&D) insurance is a combined benefit available at no cost for Associates.
Supplemental Life and Optional AD&D
Sometimes you need additional protection to accomplish your financial goals. Neighborly is pleased to offer additional Supplemental Associate Life Insurance and Optional AD&D Insurance. These are voluntary programs:
- Supplemental Associate Life Insurance: You can elect additional coverage for yourself in increments of 1, 2, 3, or 4 times your annual salary.
- Optional Spouse and Child Life Insurance: You may elect coverage for your spouse of $10,000, $25,000, $50,000, or $100,000. For each dependent child, you may elect coverage of $5,000 or $10,000 (Children under 14 days old may be covered for $500.)
- Optional AD&D Insurance: If you elect Supplemental Associate Life Insurance, you also may elect an equal amount of AD&D insurance. This coverage provides additional benefits when there is an accidental death, dismemberment, or loss of major function.
Disability Insurance
Disability insurance provides income protection in the event of a disability. Neighborly offers company paid Short-Term Disability (STD) to all Associates, and you have the option to enroll in Voluntary Long-Term Disability (LTD) through MetLife as well.
Short-Term Disability Highlights:
- The STD Plan benefits begin after day 0 of accident or day 7 of illness.
- The plan benefit is up to 60% of weekly earnings up to a maximum of $1,250 per week.
- Maternity disability is paid at 100% (proper medical documentation will be required for any pre-partum disability pay)
- Maximum length of benefits is 12 weeks
- MetLife is the claims administrator
Voluntary Long-Term Disability Highlights:
- If you choose to enroll, you pay the cost of this coverage with after-tax dollars
- Any benefits you receive are not taxed as income
- This benefit continues to provide 60% of monthly earnings (up to a monthly maximum of $8,000) for the remainder of your disability, up to 24 months or longer with approval from carrier once the STD benefit has been exhausted
- Evidence of Insurability is required for coverage elections made outside of initial eligibility period
Accident Insurance
You can’t always avoid accidents ─ but you can protect yourself from accident-related costs that can strain your budget. Accident insurance pays a benefit directly to you if you have a covered non-work place injury and need treatment.
You can get coverage for your spouse and dependents, too. As medical costs continue to rise, accident insurance may provide a necessary layer of financial protection. The plan also has an annual cash benefit when you complete a covered wellness screening.
Critical Illness Insurance
You can choose a lump sum benefit of up to $20,000 in increments of $5,000. Spouses can choose a lump sum benefit of up to $10,000 in increments of $2,500. Spouse and child coverage cannot exceed 50% of your coverage.
