Dear Jevic Employee,
The group health insurance plans will be discontinued effective May 19, 2008 for all Jevic employees, as
the Jevic Transportation Inc. Welfare Benefit Plan has been terminated. This includes the cessation of
your medical, prescription, dental, and vision coverage. Any medical, dental, or vision services
performed after May 19th, or any prescriptions filled after that date, among other things, that would have
previously been covered by the Jevic plans, will not be eligible for reimbursement or coverage.
Continuation of these plans via COBRA is not an option since Jevic no longer provides any group health
plan to any employee. We are providing alternate healthcare opportunities to help employees during this
difficult time.
If you and your dependents need medical and prescription coverage, please visit the Empyrean Benefit
Solutions website for a personal health insurance quote at www.empyreanbenefits.com/healthportal/Jevic.
Empyrean will provide you and your eligible dependents access to much needed major medical health
care benefits. This coverage can provide a broad range of medical benefits and options, including but not
limited to doctor visits, preventative care, pharmacy, hospital confinement and surgery plans, major
medical plans and mini medical plans. Some of these coverage programs will guarantee issue (without
health questions). Other programs available include Dental – Vision – Life – AD&D – Disability.
Health insurance plans vary from limited lower cost coverage to more elaborate higher cost options.
Please feel free to call Customer Care Representative at 1-866-785-8980 to find a plan that is best for you.
If you are married or are the dependent of someone else, you may want to investigate whether your
spouse or relative may be able to secure coverage for you through their employer’s medical plan.
Please note that Certificates of Creditable Coverage (COCC) will automatically be mailed to you from
United Healthcare or COBRA Elect if you had medical and prescription coverage while employed with
Jevic Transportation. The COCC may assist you in reducing or eliminating any pre-existing condition
exclusions listed in your new health insurance plan. For direct access to the healthcare providers offered
while employed with Jevic, please call 800-257-0427, ext 6896.
Best wishes to you and your family,
Jim Aromando
Vice President, Human Resources
