Medical

EPO Plan

With our exclusive provider organization (EPO) plans, you'll have the flexibility to see any doctor in our PPO network. However, you won't be covered for services from providers who are not in the PPO network.

PPO Plan

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.

High Deductible Health Plan

High-deductible health plans offer lower monthly premiums than our other PPO plans, but have a higher deductible. These plans qualify you for the option of opening a tax-advantaged HSA account to help save and pay for qualified medical expenses. Money added to an HSA is yours to keep and there is no use it or lose it penalty.
