As of December 19, 2024 Aetna/Meritain and Trinity Health (parent company of St Joe's Hospital in Syracuse, NY) are still in active negotiations to renew their in-network contractual agreement which is set to expire on December 31, 2024. Meritain has mailed letters to any Jefferson-Lewis Healthcare members who qualify for continuing care that could be potentially impacted by the expiration of this agreement. We will continue to post updates on this as they become available.

Dental Insurance Coverage

Neither Plan options offered by the Jefferson-Lewis et. al. School Employees' Healthcare Plan provides comprehensive dental insurance coverage (except for the limited dental insurance coverage and dental anesthesia coverage as provided by the Plan document). Your district employer may have separate standalone dental insurance coverage. We recommend that you consult with your employer's business or human resources office to determine if your employer offers dental insurance.
