Supplemental Coverage for Great Basin College (GBC) Employees
Great Basin College serves rural northern and eastern Nevada from its Elko campus, with centers in Battle Mountain, Winnemucca, Ely, and other rural communities. GBC faculty and staff build careers serving communities with limited access to higher education — and often limited access to financial planning resources. Individual supplemental life insurance through an A-rated (A.M. Best) carrier provides GBC employees with affordable, portable coverage appropriate for rural Nevada wages and living costs, accessible entirely remotely. Agents in our network can serve GBC employees by phone or online regardless of their location in rural Nevada.
Guarantees are backed by the financial strength and claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance carrier. No personalized coverage recommendation is made — work with a licensed agent to determine what is right for your situation.
