Employees of the City of Euless enjoy benefits that are an important part of their overall compensation. We are pleased to offer a broad range of valuable benefits to protect your health, your family and your way of life.

Transparency in Coverage

Effective July 1, 2022, the Transparency in Coverage Final Rule requires insurers and group health plans to publish machine-readable files of the in-network negotiated rates and out-of-network historical payments to guide participants and beneficiaries. 
 
With access to this information, you are likely to be in a better position than in the past, to use your consumer skills to control your out-of-pocket spending on healthcare. You will be able to evaluate your care options, improve your overall health navigation experience, all while being able to anticipate the cost of care for the first time in your life.
 
The links below lead to the negotiated in-network service rates and out-of-network allowed amounts under our health plans and healthcare providers. They are being made available in response to the federal Transparency in Coverage Rule.
