Reminder: New MESSA product takes effect Jan. 1

In a November Record article, we told you that the Michigan Education Special Services Association would be launching a new product effective Jan. 1, 2019, called Essentials by MESSA. It offers premiums and deductibles that are lower than some other MESSA products, made possible by reducing and eliminating some benefits that members have said aren’t crucial to their health care needs.

Because the benefits available under Essentials by MESSA can be significantly different from other MESSA plans, we’d like to remind you to check web-DENIS for benefits before providing services to MESSA members.
