Insurance

Brownsville Independent School District is committed to encouraging lifelong wellness practices by providing employees with health insurance, a Wellness Center and optional insurance plans...

Important Notice:
Beginning April 4, 2013, all entrances to CAB and the stadium will be blocked from Jefferson Street. Therefore, everyone must enter and leave these facilities from the Elizabeth Street side. It is my understanding that the work will take approximately two months. Please inform all employees and anyone who comes to your facilities of this change. Also, since Elizabeth Street will be the only entrance and exit, please advise all employees and anyone who comes to your offices and/or facilities that the lanes cannot be blocked at any time. We will be working with BISD security to insure that the lanes remain unblocked.

A Statement of Benefit and Coverage will explain your specific group health plan. It will explain your coverage and answer most questions regarding what is covered and what is not as well as your required deductibles and copays.

Please note that Section 22.004 of the Texas Education Code Requires that the districts offer employee health care coverage that is comparable to Health Select, the coverage provided to state employees. This notice meets that requirement. The district hereby confirms that we offer all full-time employees health care coverage through Blue Cross Blue Shield and that it is comparable or better to that coverage provided to our state employees. The three different plans offered by the district for your review, as well as the rate sheet are available on the Forms Tab at the top of this website. Should you have any additional questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at 548-8061. For information on your health plan click here.

Important Notice to Employees

On Monday, November 7, 2011, Brownsville ISD was advised that the Social Security numbers of employees who are enrolled for disability insurance were inadvertently posted by prior department administration in April 2011 on the Employee Benefits/Risk Management (EB/RM) website; a site accessible to the public. Once notified, the information was immediately removed. The information posted contained the employee name, estimated monthly salary, selected disability plan, disability premium, and employee ID number. Although this does not violate HIPPA regulations, the district understands the importance of safeguarding personal information and sincerely apologizes for this oversight. BISD is working closely with its EB/RM staff to ensure that sensitive data is more securely maintained. District employees who are impacted will be contacted individually by the Employee Benefits/Risk Management Department. The district encourages all impacted employees to be proactive by closely monitoring their credit reports. BISD employees may also call (956) 548-8061 for more information. Any additional information and/or updates related to this issue will be posted on the BISD homepage.
