Benefits

Medical Insurance

Anthem Blue Cross | Value HMO (Select Network)
With the Select Network Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) plan, you must choose a Primary Care Physician (PCP) or medical
group within the Select HMO Network for all of your covered family members. All of your care must be directed through your PCP
or medical group, but you can change your doctor monthly if needed. Any specialty care you need will be coordinated through your
PCP and will generally require a referral or authorization. You will receive benefits only if you use the doctors, clinics, and hospitals
that belong to the medical group in which you are enrolled, except in the case of an emergency. This plan uses a smaller network of
the most cost effective providers to provide lower per paycheck premiums.

Anthem Blue Cross | Value HMO (Traditional aka CACare HMO Network)
This plan works just like the Select Network plan but uses a larger network of providers. Since this plan offers more provider
options, you will experience higher per paycheck premiums.

Kaiser Permanente | HMO
With the Kaiser Permanente Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) plan, services must be obtained at a Kaiser Permanente
facility, except in the case of emergency. All of your care must be directed through your selected doctor, but you can change your
doctor at any time. Kaiser Permanente offers online tools so you can email your doctor’s office, make appointments, refill
prescriptions, and more.
