HealthFlex Exchange

HealthFlex Exchange is a model that gives HealthFlex participants more flexibility to choose their coverage while giving plan sponsors, such as the BWC, more control and predictability over health plan costs.

BWC participants select from six medical/prescription plans, three dental, and three vision plans.

Spousal Surcharge (PDF)
HealthFlex participants whose spouses have access to health insurance coverage through their own employment, but who choose to decline that coverage and be covered under Baltimore-Washington Conference’s group health plan (HealthFlex), will be subject to pay the extra monthly cost to the Conference or a premium surcharge of $300 per month, whichever is less, to compensate for the employer subsidy involved.
