The Nevada Public Employees’ Benefits Program (PEBP) provides a comprehensive benefits package to eligible employees. Benefits include medical, dental, life, and disability insurance. Voluntary benefits are also available. Below are some helpful links for managing healthcare benefits.

PEBP New Medical Plan Enrollment

Health coverage begins on the first day of the month concurrent with, or following, the effective date of your date of hire. If your position begins after the first day of the month, your coverage will not begin until the first day of the following month. New employees must enroll in the following before the end of their effective month:

• Health plan (to avoid being defaulted in the PPO HRA plan, log into the PEBP Portal to select your desired coverage)
• Voluntary benefits
• Mandatory and voluntary retirement

Family and dependents are eligible to be added to the plan at the same time an employee elects coverage. Spouses are not eligible if they are offered insurance coverage through their employer, even if they declined their coverage.

UNLV offers three different plans for employees to choose from: a High Deductible Plan, a Low Deductible Plan and an HMO. Both the High and Low Deductible plans offer a nationwide network while the HMO is for Southern Nevada.
