This website provides information related to the Bristol-Myers Squibb 2018 health benefits program. If there are any differences between this information and the official plan documents, the plan documents govern. Bristol-Myers Squibb reserves the right to amend, modify, suspend, or terminate in whole or in part any or all of the plans at any time. This explanation of changes does not attempt to cover all details of benefits or the limitations and exclusions of the plans and programs of Bristol-Myers Squibb. Details of each plan are contained in the legal documents that govern the operation of the plans, the rights of employees to benefits, and the calculation and payment of benefits. Nothing in this summary says or implies that participation is a guarantee of continued employment with Bristol-Myers Squibb. Nor is anything in this description intended to guarantee that benefit levels or costs will remain unchanged in the future.
