Overview

Old World Industries offers a comprehensive medical, dental and vision insurance program. New employees are eligible to participate in the program the first day of the month following their hire date. Our medical program is based on a preferred provider network (PPO) using the Blue Cross Blue Shield network. Our dental insurance program is not network based and allows employees and their families to visit the dentist of their choice.

To provide employees more financial control for their medical spending, Old World has adopted a Consumer Driven Healthcare Plan (CDHP). Although this type of plan includes higher deductibles than traditional insurance programs, it also includes a Healthcare Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) and offers Flexible Spending Accounts. The goal is to manage healthcare costs by putting decision-making control in the hands of the consumer - each employee. Ultimately it is the employee in conjunction with their healthcare provider who should decide the best course of treatment. 

The following is a brief description of our benefits package. 

This information is intended to provide a basic understanding of our benefit programs and in no way intends to convey complete information. Specific questions may be directed to the Human Resource Department at 847-559-2195.
