A diverse and mobile organization needs a variety of benefits choices. That's why PricewaterhouseCoopers offers a wide range of comprehensive, valuable and market-competitive benefit options. Our benefits program was designed in consideration of several key elements:

Flexibility
No two people are alike, so no single set of benefits can meet all needs. We've created a program that is flexible, that offers a choice of benefits, and that makes it easy for you to change coverages as your needs change.

Affordability
We've worked hard to keep needed protection affordable for our professionals and their families.

Shared Cost/Shared Responsibility
We pay the full cost of some benefits. For other benefits, our professionals share the costs with the firm. For certain other coverages, you pay the full cost. When applicable, benefit costs vary based on your level of coverage.

Ease of Use
We make a concerted effort to communicate the options available under our benefit program and work hard to make it easy for you to take advantage of the plans our program offers. Through Benefits Express, our one-stop benefit transaction and information resource, you can access benefit information 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You can contact Benefits Express via our intranet or toll-free by phone.
