Engineering Solutions Incorporated has implemented a generous and comprehensive employee benefits program that provides a full range of benefits. Below is a summary of the available benefits.

ESi offers several medical plans that enable employees to make tax-advantaged contributions to their own Health Savings Account (HSA). The health plan offerings include the Blue Choice HMO, with two deductible options, and the Healthy Blue Advantage. The Healthy Blue Advantage is a new innovative program that enables participants to take control of their health care and earn rewards for living a healthy life. All plans are open access, which means no referrals are required. For employees selecting individual coverage in the lower deductible HMO plan, ESi pays 100% of the premiums and up to 100% of the deductible.
Dental ESI’s dental provider is Renaissance. This is a traditional dental plan and allows you to utilize any dentist.
