The answer

If the employer obliges itself to provide services to the employee and his family, then the employee has the right to benefit from them upon receiving them. The employer's referral to an insurance company does not make it unlawful for the employee to claim his right. The sin, if the insurance is a prohibited commercial one, falls upon the employer, not the employee, because the employee is claiming a right that has been transferred to him.
