Basic Plan

The Basic Plan is the most affordable in terms of your bi-weekly paycheck contributions, however, it is the most expensive when you get care. This is a true high-deductible health plan, designed to offer protection in the case of catastrophic illness or injury. It may not be the best choice for your family if you or a family member require ongoing care.

With the Basic Plan, you have the option of using any provider in or out of network, but you pay more when you use doctors that are outside of the Anthem network. In-network preventive care is covered at 100% before deductible, and most other in-network services are covered at 80% after you meet your deductible. 

Because the plan is considered a high-deductible health plan, you have the option of opening a Health Savings Account and making contributions on a before-tax basis. The company does not provide a contribution to HSAs for employees who enroll in this plan.
