Medical, Dental & Vision

Medical

There are four plan options from United Healthcare including $15 or $40 HMO Copay Plans.

Under a Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) plan, you typically need to use doctors, hospitals, facilities, and other plan providers affiliated with the HMO. Your out-of-pocket costs are typically limited to copays for the services you receive; the plan pays the balance. Services are not subject to a deductible.

If you enroll in the UnitedHealthcare HMO plan, you need to designate a Primary Care Physician (PCP) for yourself and each of your covered dependents. (Our medical plans allow you to choose a different PCP for each person, if desired.) Provider directories are available through each plan's Web site.

If you do not choose a PCP, one will be designated for you by the plan; you may change your PCP at any time.

Dental

The County provides eligible employees a choice of three dental plans.

DeltaCare USA Plan

When you enroll in the DeltaCare USA plan, you select a DeltaCare network dentist to provide and coordinate your dental care. With DeltaCare, you must visit your selected primary care dentist in order to receive benefits. If you need specialty care, your primary care dentist can obtain a referral on your behalf. Services provided by primary care dentists are covered at low or no copayments and are not subject to a deductible.

Delta Dental PPO

Besides the Premier network, members have access to a second network, the Delta Dental PPO network. This special network of dentists have agreed to discounted fees, so your out-of-pocket costs will be reduced and your plan year maximum will go further when you visit a PPO dentist. Additionally, basic services such as fillings will be covered at 85% when visiting a Delta Dental PPO dentist. If you choose not to visit a Delta Dental PPO dentist, your benefits will remain the same as currently offered. As always you have the option of visiting any dentist you choose, now you have more options for saving money.

Delta Dental PPO Supplemental Plan

The spousal dental plan is a valuable program designed to supplement the benefits provided under the County-sponsored Delta Dental PPO Dental Plan by up to 25%.

Vision

The County offers eligible employees vision plans through Vision Service Plan, VSP Vision Care. Employees can elect to enroll in a low-option plan or a high-option plan: Vision Choice Plus and Vision Choice Premium

Comprehensive Eye Care. VSP® Vision Care provides you with an affordable, comprehensive eye exam to help keep you and your eyes healthy. The plans offer coverage for an eye exam, prescription glasses, contacts, and discounts on lens options and laser vision correction. Choose the plan that's right for you.

Open Access. You have open access to use your VSP benefit with any provider, including national chains and non-VSP doctors. While coverage is best with VSP doctors, VSP offers a generous reimbursement schedule for services from all other providers. And VSP keeps it simple by allowing other providers to contact them directly to check eligibility and submit claims directly to them. VSP then pays the provider up to the scheduled amounts, so you would only be responsible for paying any amount above the allowances.
