SPS provides employee-only coverage at no cost to the employee. Dependent coverage is available at the employee's cost.  The medical plan is self-funded. Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield is our network provider beginning January 1, 2026. This network gives access to both Mercy and Cox Health providers. Employees may use non-preferred providers; however, the deductibles and out-of-pocket amounts are higher. Point C (formerly Med Pay) is our third party administrator. The District's contribution to employee group health insurance premiums is determined annually by the Board of Education.
