Health Plan (FEHB)
The SAMBA Health Benefit Plan (FEHB) offers comprehensive medical coverage for federal employees and families. Our plan includes access to Cigna's nationwide network of providers, prescription drug benefits, and preventive care services. With flexible options for inpatient, outpatient, and specialty care, we ensure members receive quality healthcare while maintaining cost efficiency through negotiated rates and streamlined claims processing.
Dental & Vision
Our Dental & Vision Plan provides affordable coverage for routine and specialized oral and eye care. Members gain access to discounted rates with participating providers, annual exams, cleanings, and corrective procedures. The plan includes coverage for dentures, orthodontics, eyeglasses, and contact lenses while offering easy online tools to locate network dentists and vision specialists across the United States.
Term Life Insurance
SAMBA's Term Life Insurance offers customizable protection for federal employees seeking financial security for dependents. Available in multiple coverage tiers, our policies provide death benefits payable to designated beneficiaries. The plan features simplified enrollment during qualifying life events and guaranteed issue options without medical exams, ensuring accessible protection for families at every career stage.
Personal Accident
This coverage provides cash benefits for accidental injuries occurring on or off the job. Policyholders receive direct payments for covered medical expenses, lost wages, and rehabilitation costs. The plan complements primary health insurance by covering deductibles and copayments while offering 24/7 accident reporting support and expedited claims processing for financial peace of mind.
Long Term Disability
Our Long Term Disability Insurance protects income if a covered illness or injury prevents work beyond the elimination period. Benefits begin after 90 days of continuous disability and continue until recovery or retirement age. The plan includes vocational rehabilitation support and coordinated benefits with federal workers' compensation programs, ensuring comprehensive financial protection during extended absences from work.
