Need Help Choosing a Plan?

Check out this new tool, provided for us by our consultants at Wells Fargo Insurance Service. This worksheet allows you to compare estimates of the total cost for each of the District's health plan options for your own personal family circumstances. You'll want to have your rate sheet for 2011/12 before you start.

To use the tool, please read the first page, click on the yellow box at the bottom of the page, and indicate "yes" you have read the disclaimers. Once you click on "yes", you'll jump to the estimation tool where you can enter your family's information. Help is available for using this tool at the scheduled times (listed above) in the Ed Center classroom. Please note that if you call for help with this tool, we will request that you come to a help session. This will allow us to continue to provide customer service to all employees in a timely manner. CLICK HERE to access the cost estimation tool.
