Preferred Provider Organization (PPO)
A PPO plan offers the freedom to receive care from any in- or out-of-network doctor, specialist or hospital without a referral. You have a deductible to meet and once the deductible is met, coinsurance (or the cost share between you and the carrier) kicks in. The types of medical services that accumulate towards your deductible are inpatient hospital stays, outpatient surgeries, labs (blood work) and x-rays (MRIs, PET scans, CT scans, etc.). If you go to the doctor, see a specialist, utilize the ER or take a prescription drug, you’ll pay a copay for those specific services. Copays do not accumulate towards your deductible but they do accumulate towards your overall out-of-pocket maximum.
High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) with Health Savings Account (HSA)
This medical plan option is comprised of two components (1) a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) and (2) a tax-exempt savings account called a Health Savings Account (HSA). The HDHP is a high deductible PPO plan that provides health care benefits after the deductible has been met. All medical services, with the exception of preventive care, are paid for by you at 100%, less carrier discounts, prior to meeting your entire annual deductible. This includes routine office visits, procedures, lab work, prescription drugs, etc. The HSA is a bank account paired with your HDHP allowing you to set aside money on a tax-free basis to pay your out-of-pocket qualified medical, dental, and vision expenses throughout the year or in the future. You own the money in your HSA account and it is yours to keep – even when you change plans or retire. The funds roll over from year to year to be used when you really need them.

These dental plans allow the flexibility to select any dentist in-network or out-of-network. By staying in-network, the contract between your dentist and insurance carrier will make your annual benefit period maximum last longer. Dental coverage focuses on preventive and diagnostic procedures in an effort to avoid more expensive services associated with dental disease and surgery. The type of service or procedure received determines the amount of coverage for each visit. Each type of service fits into a class of services according to complexity and cost.

Vision insurance helps offset the costs of routine eye and also helps pay for vision correction eye wear, eyeglasses and contacts, that may be prescribed by an eye-care provider.
By accessing in-network vision providers, you’re able to reap the benefit of true vision insurance coverage. You’re eligible for an eye exam and lenses or contact lenses every 12 months and frames every 24 months. Out-of-network providers will merely offer you an allowance towards your vision services.
Eye-care providers include many independent optical shops and national chains.
