Medical And Pharmacy Plan Overview


        We offer the choice of two medical plans through Anthem. All of the health plan
        options include coverage for prescription drugs through CVS Caremark and dental
        through Delta Dental. To select the plan that best suits your family, you should
        consider the key differences between the plans, the cost of coverage (including
        payroll deductions), and how the plan covers services throughout the year.




        Understanding how your plan works

         1: Your deductible                  2: Your coverage                    3: Your Out-of-Pocket Maximum *

          Each person only needs to meet the individual deductible and out-of-pocket maximum before the plan begins paying its share for
         that individual. (And, once two or more family members meet the family limits, the plan begins paying its share for all covered
         family members.)




         Making the most of your plan

         Keep these important tips in mind when you use your plan:
         •    In-network providers and pharmacies: You will always pay less if you see a provider within the networks.

         •    Preventive care: In-network preventive care is covered at 100% (no cost to you). Preventive care is often received during an
              annual physical exam and includes immunizations, lab tests, screenings and other preventative services.
         •    Pharmacy coverage: Medications are placed in categories (Generic, Brand preferred, Brand non-preferred, Specialty) based
              on drug cost, safety and effectiveness. For additional details on these classifications, please visit the EmmisPlan Portal.
         •    Mail order pharmacy: If you take a medication on an ongoing basis for a condition like high cholesterol or high blood
              pressure, you can fill your medication through CVS mail order pharmacy. Members will have choice but be incentivized after
              the 2nd prescription fill to go to a CVS pharmacy and if they decide to continue to go to non-CVS pharmacy for 90 day
              prescriptions they will pay more.

         •    LiveHealth Online: Sometimes you just need a doctor – whether you’re at home in the middle of the night, or in the middle
              of a road trip. For non-life threatening concerns you can get expert advice, a treatment plan and prescriptions if needed.
              And it costs the same or less than you’d pay for a regular doctor visit.

         •    Emergency care: Use the emergency room for emergencies only. Reduce your out of pocket costs by choosing LiveHealth
              Online, Minute Clinics, or Urgent Care centers.
