Medical Plan Options

New for 2020! Featuring lower premiums with exceptional care we are excited to announce The Christ Hospital (TCH) Primary Care Provider (PCP) Network Medical Plan. Use Christ Hospital Health Network Primary Care Providers for your preventative and general care and you'll see the difference: award-winning care at lower premiums. Simply select the new TCH PCP Network Medical plan option when you enroll in your benefits. Employees and their adult dependents on the medical plan who commit to obtaining preventative and general care exclusively from TCH PCPs will pay a reduced medical premium each paycheck. The medical plan benefits for all specialty care will remain unchanged, so you can continue to have access to your choice of providers to meet the needs of you and your family.

High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP): The HDHP options provide a higher deductible than the PPO Plan but have lower premiums which means you pay more when you need care (up to the deductible) and less out of your paycheck. Both plans are compatible with a Health Savings Account (HSA), which allows you to save for medical expenses by making voluntary tax-free contributions through payroll deductions.

Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) Plan: The PPO plan options provide a lower deductible than the HDHPs but have higher premiums which means you pay less when you need care and more out of your paycheck. If you enroll in the PPO Plan, you are not eligible to participate in an HSA.

Medical Plan Networks: Each time you need medical care, you may choose the provider and facility that best meets your needs. Each provider and facility is part of a network, which determines the cost you and The Christ Hospital pay. The medical plan networks are The Christ Hospital Health Network and the Anthem Network (excludes TCH PCP Medical Plan Network). Using an out-of-network provider will result in the greatest out-of-pocket expenses.
