Which Medical Plan is Right?

You have two BCBS FL medical plan options: the High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) and the PPO plan. 

Review The Plans. Review both plans to better understand what features the plans have in common and what is different. 

Evaluate Your Needs. Consider your prior health care usage and select plans and options that fit your lifestyle and needs.

  • Do you take regular prescription medications?
  • Are you anticipating surgery or non-preventive dental care?
  • Did you experience a qualifying life event this year?
  • Review your current plans to ensure you have the coverage you need. 

A little bit of planning will help you select the best plans, coverage levels, and financial programs for your unique situation.

Still have questions on the HDHP and PPO plans?

Medical Plan Comparison

Both the PPO and HDHP:

  • Cover the same medical services (including in-network preventive services at no cost).
  • Offer prescription drug coverage
  • Use the same BCBS provider network and prescription network.
  • Feature Teladoc services for: General Medical, Mental Health, and Dermatology.
  • Offer My Health Novel programs (Weight Management, Musculoskeletal Management, and Behavioral Health Management) that support your overall health and wellbeing, at no cost! 

Key Differences1

Both plans cover the same services and offer savings by using BCBS FL contracted providers, who have agreed to charge lower, contracted rates (known as in-network rates) to members for services.

The primary differences between the plans are in what you pay out of your paycheck for coverage and how much you pay when you get care.

1 These assume you are using in-network providers that charge lower negotiated rates than out-of-network providers. If you use out-of-network providers, you’ll pay more for care and prescription drugs. For more information about out-of-network coverage, see the Summary of Benefits Coverage in UKG Pro > Myself > Benefits > Manage My Benefits.

Benefit Exclusive to the HDHP Only!

There are a variety of drugs and services that are covered 100% as preventive care. This coverage extends to many conditions, including heart disease, asthma, depression, liver disease, and more. For example, no-cost A1c testing and insulin medication that may be prescribed to help manage diabetes.

Prescription: Generic Incentive Program

To save more on prescription drug costs, take advantage of the generic incentive program in both the BCBS PPO and HDHP plans. If you or your doctor request a brand-name drug when a generic equivalent is available, you will pay the brand copay or coinsurance (depending on your plan), plus the difference in cost between the generic drug and the brand drug. You will never pay more than the actual cost of the brand drug.
