We champion wellness programs that focus on you and your family's physical, emotional and financial well-being. Health coverage for you and your family is important to you and it's important to us.

Most benefits are effective the first day of the month following your start date. MedicalOur comprehensive medical benefits help employees and their families maintain and improve their health with preventive care, prescription drug coverage and broad health care provider networks. Employees may choose a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plan or a qualifying High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP). The HDHP option offers access to a Health Savings Account (HSA), including HSA contributions from Leonardo DRS each pay period. Both medical plans use a UnitedHealthcare network.
