Medical Coverage

Kiewit’s benefits plans offer comprehensive medical coverage, free preventive care and tools to help you manage the complex health care system.

All full-time salaried staff and non-manual, hourly-paid employees are eligible for coverage on the first full day of work. You can choose to enroll yourself and/or your family in Kiewit plans or to decline coverage. Changes can be made only within your first 31 days of employment, during open enrollment or because of a qualified status change.

About the Medical Plans

U.S. Staff Medical Plans

Kiewit’s health insurance provider is UnitedHealthcare. Staff employees living in the continental U.S. have a choice between two medical plans: the Traditional Plan or the Health Savings Plan. Both plans offer the same comprehensive medical coverage but differ in how you pay for coverage (premiums and deductibles).

Once you enroll and receive your ID card, register at myuhc.com, where you can:

  • Find a provider
  • Access claims and spending details
  • Review coverage and benefits
  • Replace an ID card


Hawaii Medical Plan

Kiewit’s health insurance provider is UnitedHealthcare. As part of Hawaii’s medical care law, employees who live or work in the state are provided a lower deductible medical plan that pays 80/20 for any provider in Hawaii.

  • That means claims are paid 80% by the plan and 20% by you.
  • The plan pays for services up to the allowed amount, and anything beyond that is your responsibility.
  • To save money, select a provider who participates in a Shared Savings Network. These providers have negotiated discounts for their services.

Traditional Plan 

  • Prescription drugs are broken down into tiers, which determine how much they cost. 
  • Show your medical card when buying a prescription at a retail pharmacy. 
  • Consider mail order delivery for regular maintenance prescriptions. 
  • Prescription copays are applied to your out-of-pocket maximum. 

HSA Plan 

  • Prescription costs are applied to your medical deductible.  
  • You do not need to meet the deductible for certain approved preventive medications, including those for chronic illnesses like breast cancer, cholesterol, blood pressure, diabetes and asthma. These are available at coinsurance or copay rates based on drug tier. 


Preventive Care

Scheduling regular preventive care can help you and your family stay healthier.

  • Kiewit’s health plans provide 100% coverage for certain preventive health care services.
  • You pay nothing provided you get your care from a health plan network provider.
  • Preventive care includes annual wellness exams, cancer screenings, vaccines, well-woman visits and much more.
