Benefits Opportunities
Accent Global offers all of its fulltime team members the opportunity to participate
in a variety of benefits. Most benefits outlined below cover the employee, spouse,
and eligible children or dependents.
Medical Care
Accent Global provides the following plan for its employees:
CareFirst Coverage
The Blue Cross Blue Shield CareFirst Plan allows you to receive services from any
licensed provider, providing a higher level of benefits for services you receive
from providers who have joined their network of preferred providers. The Accent
Global option is designed as a high-deductible plan, with the employer and employee
sharing in the base premium costs and the employer funding the deductible portion
on behalf of the employee through a Health Savings Account.
Health Savings Account
In conjunction with CareFirst coverage, each employee establishes a Health Savings
Account (HSA), providing both traditional medical coverage and a tax-free way to
help build savings for current and future medical expenses. Accent Global contributes
cash to each employee’s HSA each pay period, building a portable health fund
for the future. The Health Savings Plan features a high annual deductible and an
out-of-pocket maximum. Unlike a flexible spending account, any unused funds are
carried over, without limit, from year to year. Once established, the savings plan
is the employee’s; it conveys in full upon separation from the company.
CareEssentials
Available for CareFirst members, this coaching/counseling program is designed to
identify health risks and target solutions. Available 24 hours a day, seven days
a week, to provide useful, easy-to-understand health information that can help you
make appropriate healthcare decisions.
