Medical, Dental, and Vision

The SJSU Research Foundation is pleased to offer a variety of medical, dental, and vision insurance coverage options for our employees and their dependents.

Medical Insurance

The Research Foundation pays an established monthly
amount toward medical insurance coverage, and the
employee is responsible for a co-payment amount
depending upon their level of coverage. Four plans are
offered — Kaiser, EPO, PPO, and HDHP. Other than
Kaiser, plans are administered through BRMS with Blue
Shield Network.
