Essential StaffCARE

Health Insurance & Benefits - For You And Your Family

Certified Employment Group is pleased to announce that we have signed an agreement with Essential StaffCare (ESC) to provide a health benefit plan that is designed specifically for employees of the staffing industry.

ESC is the fastest growing health insurance and benefits package for temporary employees with over 400,000 temporary employees enrolling each year. ESC is underwritten by BCS. BCS is majority owned by Blue Cross Blue Shield Plans and is administered by Planned Administrators (PAI), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Blue Cross Blue Shield of SC. PAI provides quality plan administration and expertise in administering health care plans with a dedicated ESC team of professionals. The ESC plan provides you with higher overall benefits at a lower weekly cost.

Behind every health plan at ESC is a team of customer service representatives and claims processors. During normal business hours, you are always able to reach a customer service representative who can help you with your questions regarding your plan or benefits. ESC consistently exceeds industry performance standards and has an ongoing commitment to high quality personal service.

All new hires of Certified Employment Group will be able to enroll in the (1) Fixed Indemnity Medical and (2) Minimum Essential Coverage (MEC) Wellness/Preventive Plan within 30 days of your hire date or during the open enrollment period. Your premium for the Fixed Indemnity Medical plan will be paid weekly and MEC Wellness/Preventive Plan monthly through a payroll deduction directly to ESC.
