MEDICAL INSURANCE
Choosing a medical plan for yourself and your family is a personal decision based the highest standards. That’s why we use Blue Cross and Blue Shield of MA. This plan offers comprehensive health care services with varying levels of benefits. Our plan provides a prescription drug benefits and promotes wellness as part of their benefits. The Medical plan includes:
- Blue Cross and Blue Shield of MA (PPO) The PPO plan allows you to receive care from in-network or out-of-network providers. To receive the highest level of benefits you must obtain services through network providers. If you receive out-of-network care, you’ll receive a lower level of benefits and you’ll share more of the costs through deductibles and co-insurance. The PPO does not require that you select or have your care coordinated through a primary care physician (PCP). Most in-network hospital and diagnostic services are covered in full and physician visits are covered after a $15 co-payment.
- Prescription Drugs When you enroll in a medical plan, you will automatically receive prescription drug benefits. All medical plans offer the same prescription drug benefits through most of the major pharmacies – CVS, Walgreens, Rite-Aid, and Wal-Mart. You can purchase a 30-day supply for generic, preferred brand name drugs or non-preferred brand name drugs at varying co-payment amounts. The prescription drug benefit also offers a mail-order program for a 90-day supply of maintenance drugs at only twice the cost of a 30-day supply. Our provider is Express Scripts.
- Vision Care This is an optional program. Vision care is provided through the Vision Service Plan (VSP) – a national network of vision care providers. Vision Care provides one routine eye examination every 12 months by an optometrist or an ophthalmologist and discounts on lenses and frames. Although you may visit any vision doctor, your benefits may be greater if you select an in-network provider.
