Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) Option

The PPO health insurance option provides the option to receive care from any doctor or healthcare provider. The cost for care is lower when in-network providers are used. Except for most preventative care, services are not covered until annual deductible is met.

There is a Standard and a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) option available. A HDHP provides employees the option to receive care from any doctor or healthcare provider. The HDHP option lowers the monthly premium and increases the annual deductible amount. The higher annual deductible can be offset with a Health Savings Account (HSA), which provides an employer contribution and the option for employee pre-tax contributions.

Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) Option

The HMO health insurance option provides coverage for in-network providers and facilities, and coverage for health emergencies. The entire cost of the non-network health care received is the member’s responsibility. HMO companies vary by region.

There is a Standard and a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) HMO option available. A HDHP provides employees the option to receive care from any doctor or healthcare provider. The cost of services for the HMO HDHP will be reduced when they are received within network. The HDHP option lowers the monthly premium and increases the annual deductible amount. The higher annual deductible can be offset with a Health Savings Account (HSA), which provides an employer contribution and the option for employee pre-tax contributions.
