How we know · medium confidence
  • This employer files 2 health plans for this group; we judged them together.
  1. Michelin Health and Welfare Plan · 17,737 people · Both kinds

    • The filing says benefits are paid from the employer's general assets.
    • Medical insurance bought from Blue Cross Blue Shield, Highmark is on file, covering about 1,227 people.
    • 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 Blue Care Network Of Michigan covering about 134 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.
    • The insured options cover only about 7% of the 17,737 participants, so most people in this plan are in the self-funded part.
  2. Michelin Pre-65 Health Plan · 1,353 people · Self-funded · federal rules

    • The filing says benefits are paid from the employer's general assets.
    • No medical insurance contract is on file (Schedule A).
