Medical and Pharmacy Plan Overview
We offer the choice of two Consumer Driven Health Plans (CDHP) and a Buy-up PPO Plan through
Cigna. All of the medical options include coverage for prescription drugs through Cigna. To select the
plan that best suits your family, consider the key differences between the plans, the cost of coverage
(including payroll deductions) and how the plan covers services throughout the year.

Embedded deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums
With an embedded approach, 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
Getting the most out of your plan also depends on how well you understand it. 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 medical and
pharmacy network.
• 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 services intended to prevent
illness or detect problems before you notice any symptoms.
