Our Trio HMO plan is typically more affordable than other plans. It features a select network of local providers who closely coordinate your care and a concierge service to help you with everything from benefit questions to scheduling doctor’s appointments. When you enroll in the Trio HMO plan for the first time, you must choose a primary care physician (PCP) for yourself and your covered dependents. Each member of your family can choose a different physician and medical group/Independent Practice Association (IPA).

To enroll in the Trio HMO plan, you must live or work within the Trio service area.

Our PPO plans offer a broad physician and hospital network, and the flexibility to see any doctor in, or out, of the plan’s network. However, PPO plans may include a deductible, which is the amount you must pay before your insurance kicks in. After you’ve met your deductible, you’ll usually pay a percentage of the cost, which is called coinsurance. Staying in network will mean you usually pay lower out of pocket costs than if you choose to go out of network.
