Compare medical plans

Here’s what the plans cover and what you pay when you need care.

What you need to know

All medical plans cover:

  • Many of the same services, like doctor’s visits and hospital stays
  • Free in-network preventive care with no deductible for annual physicals, pediatric exams, well-woman exams, immunizations, and diagnostic tests

The Highmark CDHP, PPO, and HPN plans also give you access to CirrusMD, Hinge Health, Oshi Health, and Livongo by Teladoc Health. These services are free. 

Hawaii residents have access to the HMSA plan only. Most California residents have access to Highmark plans and Kaiser Permanente based on your zip code. All continental U.S. states will have access to the Highmark PPO 1000, CDHP 2250, and CDHP 3750 plans. Based on zip code, continental US colleagues may have access to the Highmark PPO 1000 HPN and CDHP 2250 HPN plans.

The medical plans differ in how much you pay when you receive care. Take a look at the differences below or check out Ask Me, an AI-powered colleague experience.

Important note about out-of-network coverage

You may be eligible for the CDHP 2250 HPN, PPO 1000 HPN, and Kaiser Permanente plan (available to California residents only) based on the ZIP code of your home address. If any of these plans are available to you, they will show as options when completing your benefits enrollment. With these plans, you’re only covered for in-network care — there’s no out-of-network coverage except in emergency situations.

If you live in California and would like to enroll in Kaiser Permanente coverage, you must accept the Kaiser Foundation Health Plan Arbitration Agreement. If you’re unwilling to do so, you will need to select a different plan option.
