No-Cost Preventive Medications →Classified/Exempt employees
If you are a PCLS Classified/Exempt employee who enrolls a spouse, an additional $200 monthly spousal surcharge is added to your standard medical premium by default. You may avoid the surcharge by completing the secure verification process and confirming that your spouse does not have access to other medical coverage through an employer, retiree plan, Medicare, Medicaid, or another governmental plan.
