Nemours, a company that provides medical care for children, says its new universal health benefit program for employees’ children cost $180 per child per month during the first full year of operation.
Nemours, Jacksonville, Fla., owns and operates the Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children in Wilmington, Del., and major children’s specialty centers in Delaware, Florida, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
In 2005, Nemours started providing free comprehensive health coverage for all children ages 0 to 18 of all eligible full-time employees.
Children who use in-network providers get care with no deductibles, co-payments or prescription costs.
