Changes to Newark Health Benefits UPDATED!!

UPDATE!

On October 2, NBOE announced a huge posiitve change about our benefits!

We recently have conducted follow-up negotiations with Aetna and have secured the following on your behalf:

$10 copay for Primary Care Physician (PCP) visit
$15 copay for Specialist Visit

Both copays were $20 and this will no longer be the case beginning on January 1, 2020. Employees currently enrolled in Aetna PPO 20/20 will automatically be cross-walked to the new Aetna PPO 10/15 copay plan.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at (973) 733-7336 or benefits@nps.k12.nj.us.
