2019 Benefits Guide

MAA Associates,

MAA is committed to providing you and your family with access to a competitive, affordable and comprehensive package of benefits. We are excited to share our benefits program – YOUR LIFE. YOUR CHOICE. YOUR BENEFITS. – which offers many quality choices and rewards you for taking an active role in your health. Whether you are reading this as a new associate making benefit elections for the first time or as an existing associate in preparation for our annual open enrollment period, we recognize the importance of MAA’s benefits in meeting your needs and encourage you to take advantage of the resources made available to maximize their value. I encourage you to review the information on our various benefits options available and to take full advantage of the opportunities to “take care of you.” Keeping you and your family healthy and making sure you have affordable access to quality medical care when you need it is our goal and an important part of our effort to create value for you and in your relationship with MAA.

To help you navigate your benefit options and answer any questions you may have, we have invested in multiple resources, including this guide.

Other resources include:

 ALEX® - a virtual benefits counselor that can help you understand your options and decide which benefits are best for you by guiding you through an informal, interactive process, explaining how the plans work, and providing information regarding cost and coverage.  Our MotivateMe® program through Cigna features rewards for associates and spouses covered under our medical plan in the form of contributions from MAA to their health fund account (HRA or HSA) upon completion of various wellness-related activities throughout the year.  Our HR Support Portal is located on our newly redesigned AccessMAA homepage and is your connection to all things Benefits. Visit the Benefits catalog to read more or submit a question directly to the Benefits team. Read more about it on page 32. Also, be sure to check out the icon on AccessMAA labeled “My Benefits Apps” to look up contact information and websites for all benefit plans and program vendors.

We’re also pleased to introduce a new benefit this year – an Auto & Home Insurance Discount Program through Liberty Mutual. Please refer to page 28 of the 2019 Benefits Guide for more information.

We hope that you will find that the package of benefits for the 2019 plan year effectively meets the need for better health, wellness and protection for you and your family.
