Healthcare Provider Update: Healthcare Provider for Mattel Mattel's employee healthcare services are primarily provided by major insurers like UnitedHealthcare and Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS), which offer a variety of plans tailored to meet the needs of their workforce. Potential Healthcare Cost Increases for Mattel in 2026 As we approach 2026, Mattel employees may face rising healthcare costs amidst a backdrop of significant premium increases in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace. With state filings revealing potential hikes as high as 66.4% in some areas, many employees could see their out-of-pocket expenses rise drastically if enhanced federal subsidies are not extended. As large companies look to transfer more healthcare costs to workers, including increased deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums, it is essential for Mattel employees to review benefit options closely and strategize their healthcare spending to mitigate the financial impact. The shift in costs could result in households facing thousands of dollars in additional healthcare expenses for similar or reduced coverage. Click here to learn more

Are Mattel employees responsible for the damage caused by a tree on their property that hits their neighbor’s home or other insured structure, such as a garage or shed?

In most cases, the answer is “no.”

When such damage occurs to your neighbor’s home due to forces outside your control (e.g., weather events), your neighbors may have to file a claim with their insurer to receive a reimbursement for the damage a fallen down tree caused.

There is one exception, however.

If it is determined that the tree damage stems from your negligence (e.g., dead limbs that you refused to cut down, or you chose to trim your tree as a weekend project), then the neighbor’s insurer may come after you to recover their loss—a process called subrogation.¹

You may want to check your policy or speak to your insurance agent to ascertain if your homeowner's policy covers your liability in cases of negligence.

Proving what you knew or should have known can be difficult and costly in a court of law. It typically benefits both parties to arrive at a compromise that avoids an expensive legal process.
