You were either enrolled in the Aetna 3500 Employee Only plan or the MotivHealth 2800 Employee Only plan. Both plans provides preventive care for free. This may include free annual preventative exams and some free preventative prescriptions. To get started using your medical benefits, register your Aetna account at www.aetna.com or call 1-855-736-9469.  If you were enrolled in MotivHealth, please call 1-844-234-4472 or visit dps.motivhealth.com

Your medical plan is an after-tax deduction. We do this to allow benefits to be dropped outside of Open Enrollment or with a Qualifying Life Event.

Cost: check out the Enrollment Guide to determine your per paycheck cost for this plan. 

*You will see your Aetna or MotivHealth premium listed under “After Tax Deductions” on your paychecks. Certain employee groups are eligible for Benefit Credits to offset the cost of this coverage. If eligible, you will see your Benefit Credits listed under the medical plan deduction as a negative number (a negative number means this is a credit back to you, not another deduction) - this offsets the cost of the medical plan coverage.

DPS contributes $27.92 per paycheck on your behalf to your new Health Savings Account (HSA)! Check out the Health Savings Account (HSA) page to learn all about the benefits of this unique account. You can use this money to pay for the cost of qualifying medical expenses not covered by your insurance. 

Please note: Your Health Savings Account (HSA) must be registered by the participant. You can open and register your Health Savings Account (HSA) at my.healthequity.com.

Sick Leave Bank is a reserve of sick time available to you should you require additional time off outside of your normal sick leave. Find all the information on the Sick Leave Bank page.
