INFORMATION SHEETS

THERE'S AN APP FOR THAT!

Our Health, Dental and Vision providers each have apps available for download.

Our third-party administrator, Alliant, has created an employee benefit app called BEN-IQ. The app provides an overview of what the County offers, what services and procedures are covered, annual deductibles, and includes a cost of coverage calculator. Look for the little Einstien and download the app.
