   • We ignored 2 low-cost supplemental policy(ies) such as accident or hospital cover; they don't decide how your medical claims are handled.
   • We ignored a small insurance contract with Calvo'S Selectcare Insurance, Cigna covering about 141 people; it is too small to be the main plan.
   • Medical insurance is on file, but the plan also pays benefits from the employer's own money, so some options are likely self-funded.
