State of Florida (Pre-Tax)

The state offers a range of medical insurance benefits to eligible State of Florida employees and retirees. Part-time employees are eligible but will pay an increased premium based on their full-time equivalency (FTE).

• Standard and High Deductible PPO plans are provided by Florida Blue.
• Standard and High Deductible HMO plan providers vary by region. Aetna provides service for Alachua County.
• Optum Rx is the pharmacy manager for all state plans.

If you and your spouse both work for a State of Florida agency, you may be eligible to participate in the state’s Spouse Program and pay less for medical insurance.
