Health & Wellness
Weld County is proud to offer employees medical, dental and vision plans. We have a plan that fits your families health needs. We also offer a variety of wellness services and resources. Visit the employee medical clinic for one-stop, convenient care when seeing your primary care physician might not be an option.
Take advantage of the challenges, activities and support our Wellness Program provides to help you reach your health and wellness goals. Mental Health support is pivotal to our workplace culture - that's why we partner with IOME to offer wellness support services. We also have a robust life insurance package, flexible spending accounts and voluntary benefits for employees to choose from.
Medical Plans*
Weld County offers employees the choice between two plans - a Standard PPO Plan and High Deductible Health Plan with an optional Health Savings Account (HSA). The second plan gives $1,000 annually for employee only coverage and $1,200 annually for employee plus one or more made by Weld County for yourself and covered dependents (pro-rated depending on benefit effective date). To make sure that you have all the information you need to make informed decisions for you and your family, the law requires Weld County Government to provide you with notice of certain legal rights that you may have and legal obligations that apply to the Weld County Government Welfare Benefit Plan.
Vision & Dental*
Employees may choose from three dental plans and one vision plan. Employees do not have to be on a medical plan if they want to be on the vision plan; however, employees must be on a dental plan if they are on a medical plan.
Medical Clinic*
If you choose a Weld County medical plan, you receive access to an on-site clinic (with an additional location on 35th Avenue in Greeley) offering convenient health care for you and covered dependents ages two and older. Services provided: Acute care, physicals and wellness exams, health screenings, pediatrics, women's health, lab services and more!
