Health Benefits
Health Insurance
Health insurance is a financial safety net that helps individuals and families manage the costs of medical care. By paying regular premiums to an insurance provider, policyholders gain coverage for a wide range of healthcare services, including doctor visits, hospital stays, prescription medications, and preventive care. This coverage reduces the financial burden of medical expenses, ensuring that people can access necessary treatments and maintain their health without facing overwhelming costs.
Health care coverage that fits your lifestyle
Immanuel offers two types of health plans:
To help members save money, both Highmark plans use Enhanced, Standard, and Out-of-Network provider networks. In general, you'll pay the least when you use Enhanced providers, more when you use Standard providers, and the most when you use Out-of-Network providers. Enhanced providers and facilities have been identified as delivering high-quality care while helping keep costs lower for both members and the health plan.
Because of this, you'll pay lower copays and lower out-of-pocket costs when using Enhanced providers.
Before scheduling care, we encourage you to verify whether your doctor, specialist, therapist, or facility is Enhanced, Standard, or Out-of-Network. Resources to do this can be found below.
Highmark CopayGo PPO Plan
Highmark's CopayGo PPO Plan may be a good fit if you:
-
Value predictable healthcare costs.
-
Want no deductible to meet.
-
Want to know what you will pay from visits and prescriptions in advance.
- However, you will pay slightly higher biweekly premiums.
If you choose this plan, you can also elect a Healthcare Flexible Spending Account (FSA). An FSA allows you to set aside pre-tax dollars to pay for eligible medical, dental, and vision expenses. One important thing to remember is that FSA funds must be used during the plan year – December 31 – and do not roll over, so it's important to plan your contributions carefully.
Highmark High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP Plan)
Highmark CopayGo HDHP may be a better fit if you're looking for lower biweekly premiums.
Please note that you will pay the full cost of covered services until your deductible is met. After that, you'll pay copays based on the services you receive and the providers you use.
The HDHP also allows you to open and contribute to a Health Savings Account (HSA). HSAs allow you to save pre-tax dollars for future qualified healthcare expenses, and unlike an FSA, unused funds roll over from year to year and remain yours to keep. Many employees appreciate the long-term savings and flexibility an HSA provides.
