PAY LESS FOR MORE
No one can be absolutely certain about the future of
health care in America. However, one thing is clear,
engineering firms and their employees are demanding
greater flexibility and more affordable health
insurance options.
To meet this demand, the ACEC Life/Health Trust
has developed the Copay PPO (Preferred Provider
Organization) Plans—a balance of cost savings and
flexibility along with exceptional access to care.
These plans are an attractive choice for any firm
wishing to offer cost sharing options of deductibles
and coinsurance combined with the convenience
of self-directed referral to an extensive network of
medical professionals.
The Copay PPO Plans cover basic medical expenses,
including wellness, preventive and recovery care.
The plan also helps protect insureds against hospital
and physician costs resulting from catastrophic illness
or injury.
FREEDOM OF CHOICE
Insureds may choose any physician or hospital.
Of course, there is an advantage for insureds to stay
in-network because benefits will be paid at their
highest level.
MULTIPLE PLAN DESIGNS
Participating firms may choose from a range of
Copay PPO Plans. The plans vary by coinsurance,
deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums. Refer to
the Plan Comparison chart on the following pages
for more information. This chart saves you time
by organizing essential information about available
benefits and choices.
FOUR LEVELS OF COVERAGE
Each Copay PPO Plan includes a choice of four levels
of coverage: Employee Only; Employee Plus Spouse;
Employee Plus Child(ren); Employee plus Spouse and
Child(ren).
PROTECT YOUR BOTTOM LINE
Today, medical coverage is one of your most valued
employee benefits. Copay PPO Plans offer various
levels of coverage to help protect engineering firm
employees from serious financial hardship. But
that's not all. The cost containment provisions,
such as Preadmission Hospital Certification, Case
Management, Continued Stay Review, Wellness and
Preventive programs offer employers a solid line
of defense against rising health care costs. These
features are designed to help protect your bottom
line while at the same time providing comprehensive
medical care for insureds.
