The state of Washington, through the PEBB program, provides medical, dental, life, and long-term disability coverage (and offers optional insurances) through private health insurance plans to eligible state and higher-education employees as a benefit of employment. Eligible retirees, former employees, and employees who are temporarily not in pay status may apply for most PEBB coverage on a self-pay basis. In addition, K-12 school districts and certain employer groups may also choose to provide PEBB coverage to their employees and retirees.
The Public Employees Benefits Board, created within the Washington State Health Care Authority, establishes eligibility requirements and approves employee premium contributions and the benefits of all participating health care organizations. |
