Help During Spring Break

If you are in need of assistance with your benefits during winter break, you may email Employee Benefits at mybenefits@pasco.k12.fl.us. Please provide specific details regarding the assistance required, including your name, work location, and telephone number (best number to contact you).

Please Note: The Employee Benefits managers will monitor the MyBenefits mailbox during winter break; however, we will only respond to inquiries regarding eligibility for benefits and access to services. We will respond to all other inquiries when the district resumes its normal operating hours on Monday, March 20, 2023.

Be Prepared

When you or your dependent is sick or injured, you need to decide how serious the problem is and how soon to get medical care.  Prepare now, before you have a medical problem.  Learn what your choices are and put these numbers in the memory of your phone:

• Primary Care Provider
• Health Insurance Company
• Urgent Care or Walk-in Center
• Emergency Room  
• Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222)

If you are not sure what to do, and you are not experiencing a life-threatening emergency, call your doctor. If the office is not open, your health insurance provider may offer a nurse advice help line.  If you are covered under the Board’s medical plan, you can contact Florida Blue and ask to speak with a care consultant or health dialog coach.  You may also visit www.floridablue.com and click on “Find a Doctor”, then follow online steps to locate a list of in-network Urgent Care Centers.
