You can see providers outside of the network, but if you use the in-network providers, you will pay less.

Life and Disability Insurance

N3B provides eligible employees with basic life insurance based on your annual earnings up to a maximum of $50,000. N3B also offers accidental death and dismemberment coverage equal to the amount of basic life.
