Health Insurance
The City of Portland has generous health, dental, vision and life insurance plans. The health insurance plan is offered through Texas Municipal League - MultiState Intergovernmental Employees Benefits Pool. The city offers a PPO plan which uses Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas network of providers for "in network" coverage and can be utilized nationwide. Selection of health care providers outside the network is allowed, but deductible and reimbursement levels are less favorable to the employee.
