BENEFITS
GROUP HEALTH INSURANCE BENEFITS
The following is an overview of the group health insurance coverage that is available to eligible
employees of Mission under the Mission-sponsored group health plan. Specific information on
eligibility requirements, the benefit plans and the cost of coverage will be made available to
employees at the time of enrollment and annually thereafter at the time of open enrollment. Once
a benefit election is made, employees may only enroll in or make changes during open enrollment,
unless the employee experiences a life changing event. During a life changing event, employees
may add, change or delete coverage, but such changes must be made within thirty (30) days of the
life changing event date. Employees are solely responsible for ensuring the correct insurance
choices are made.
The information provided below is a brief summary of the respective benefits. The actual benefits
are subject to and are governed by the terms of official benefit plan documents. Mission reserves
the right to amend, modify or terminate the benefit plans at any time. When changes are made,
Mission will make every effort to provide advance notice, whenever possible and as contemplated
by applicable law.
