Long-Term Disability Insurance Plan
for Spouse or Domestic Partner

The Health Alliance provides long-term disability (LTD) insurance to all benefit eligible associates. We realize, however, that many of our associates’ spouses or domestic partners may not be covered under any income protection insurance. Long-term disability coverage is available for them at a discounted rate. For the Health Alliance definition of domestic partner, see Your Eligibility for Health Alliance Benefits, page 1.

Coverage Options

The individually owned policy is designed to meet the needs of the policyholder and there are several options available. An insurance representative will be happy to meet with you to discuss the monthly coverage amount, length of payment period, and elimination period that best fits your financial needs. This insurance is fully underwritten, which means that a full medical history is required at the time of application. If a physical examination is required, it will be at the expense of the insurance carrier.

Cost of Coverage

The discounted cost of coverage varies depending on the age of the insured and the level of coverage selected. Premiums are deducted on an after-tax basis from every paycheck.

Enrollment Contact

Information and enrollment assistance with this benefit should be obtained through an insurance representative. Please call S. G. Donahue & Company, Inc. at 513-721-2513.

Note: This benefit is available for enrollment through age 65 with plan continuation indefinitely.
