Medical Insurance Coverage As a matter of conscience and practicality for both our field staff and their donors, it is necessary for all new field staff to hold at least major medical coverage through their own means. This might be through a personal policy, coverage provided by their current employer, or under their spouse's coverage. It would be irresponsible to not take this into consideration for one who is undergoing the initial support-raising phase, not having immediate income from ISI. Once a field team member has been on staff a while and has built some consistent support, then they have the means to join ISI's group medical plan.
In the meantime, we ask for new staff to provide a Summary Plan Description or some other brief documentation of the level of insurance they hold currently.
