We are pleased to provide a choice of three medical plans: two Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) plans and one Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plan administered by Cigna and Kaiser Permanente.
HMOs center on the relationship between you and your Primary Care Physician (PCP). When you enroll you must choose a PCP who will be responsible for directing your care within a larger group of healthcare professionals (a medical group). If necessary, your PCP will refer you to any specialist within your medical group as well as take the appropriate steps to pre-authorize any facility-based care (excluding emergencies) and you will only be responsible to pay your deductible / co-payment amount.
PPOs give you the freedom to visit any licensed professional without a referral from your personal doctor. When you choose to visit a doctor within the Cigna PPO network, you will benefit from lower coinsurance amounts and significant savings by receiving the contracted discounted rates after any applicable deductibles. If you choose a non-contracted doctor you will pay more for your health care.

An out-of-network provider is one which has not contracted with your insurance company for reimbursement at a negotiated rate. If the doctor, hospital or health care facility you visit is part of your insurance company’s network, you’ll get your health care at lower prices. But if you go out of your network for health care, it can become a lot more expensive. Going out-of-network could mean you’ll have to pay a larger percentage of the cost or the total cost. You may also pay a higher co-insurance percentage and have higher annual co-insurance and out-of-pocket maximums.
