Health Care Database
The MEA is always trying to provide its members with the most up-to-date information about your benefits in an effort to help you better understand what you’re receiving and how it compares to other districts in your county. How much a district contributes to your health insurance plan is a negotiable item, making the data vital to making the most of your membership. Below you will find the 2020-21 school district health insurance yearly contributions for teachers. Figures below are based on the MEABT Choice Plus Plan, unless otherwise noted.
