Empowering your staff to understand and utilize their benefits is crucial for retention and well-being. A frequently misunderstood topic is coinsurance. Put simply, coinsurance is the percentage an employee pays for specific medical services or prescriptions. Unlike a fixed copay for an office visit, coinsurance applies to services like imaging or procedures. For most MESSA plans—including ABC, Balance+, Choices, and Essentials—coinsurance for medical services is paid after the member has met their annual deductible. These payments then contribute to their total out-of-pocket maximum for the year, providing a financial safety net. Clear communication on topics like this helps your team see the full value of their benefits package. MESSA is committed to providing resources that make healthcare easier to navigate for Michigan's school employees.

We are committed to being a leader in providing this level of support and outstanding customer service to the educational community.
