HERE’S HOW THE PLAN WORKS:

A Personal Care Account (PCA) is funded for your use each year. Benefit dollars in this account cover your first $1,200 ($2,400 for a family) of health care and pharmacy expenses at 100% with no copays.

If you don’t use all of your PCA funds during the year, the balance rolls over to the next year. And each year up to $400 (single) and $800 (family) of the Personal Care Account can be used for dental or vision care.

Preventive care is covered at 100% in-network and is not subtracted from your Personal Care Account.

And all Plan Members have direct access to a wide range of support resources – online and by phone – including nurse Health Coaches available anytime you need them.
