DriveTime offers three different Voluntary Benefit plans.
Employee's can elect any combination of these plans and cover
themselves and their eligible dependents as a new hire or during
open enrollment. The three available plans are: Hospital Indemnity,
Accident and Critical Illness. All three plans are what is
considered supplemental coverage. Meaning that they would not
replace medical coverage, they instead are an opportunity to give
you some financial support in addition to your medical
coverage.

types.
Tell me about this Health Screening
Benefit.
All three of these voluntary benefit options offer the
opportunity to recieve $50 just for completing a preventive
appointment during the coverage plan year (i.e. dental cleanin,
physical wellness exam, women's wellness exam, eye exam, etc.). The
wellness visit required for the Wellness Program qualifies!
