Benefits

A Culture of Health

Our industry is challenging and MEC employees are committed to meeting the challenges. MEC rewards this hard work with compensation that is better than the local market average and an exceptional benefits package that promotes wellness and provides a solid financial future.

Health Insurance

Employees have two medical plan options, the Traditional Plan or the Health Savings Plan. Both plans offer the same comprehensive medical coverage, choice of in-network health care providers and free preventative care. The difference is how you pay for your coverage, premiums and deductibles – and the option to save for future medical expenses offered through the Health Savings Plan. All employees have the option to decline the health insurance coverage.

Dental Insurance

The dental plan provides for 100% coverage for routine dental exams, up to two visits per calendar year with no deductible.

Vision Coverage

All MEC employees enrolled in one of the health insurance plans will automatically be covered under the routine vision plan at no additional cost.
