Virtual Benefits Hub
Plan Year: 5/1/2025 - 4/30/2026
This Benefits Page is a central resource for you to visit during open enrollment and throughout the year.
To our employees:
We have made a conscious decision to offer you benefits because we care about you and your families, and we want to do everything we can to make sure you are taken care of.
Once again, this year, we conducted a thorough review of the options available to us, and we think we’ve come up with the best possible package. But the process doesn’t stop here—we need you to take an active role in understanding and selecting your benefit options. A strong grasp of the plans available to you will best allow both you and this organization to get the most bang for our buck.
To help you gain that strong understanding, please read this kit carefully and consult with your HR team with any questions.
Thank you for all that you do for us!

The Finch Company offers 2 plan options through Anthem BCBS.
You have the option to choose between two PPO plans. A PPO option offers the freedom to see any provider when you need care. When you use providers from within the PPO network, you receive benefits at the discounted network cost. Most expenses, such as office visits, emergency room and prescription drugs are covered by a copay. Other expenses are subject to a deductible and coinsurance.
Utilizing In-Network providers will allow for the highest level of coverage. In-Network providers agree to accept Anthem's contract rate as the final charge and the member is not balanced billed.
TRADITIONAL DRUGS
TIER 1 (GENERIC) | Lowest copay: Most drugs in this category are generic drugs. Members pay the lowest copay for generics, making these drugs the most cost-effective option for treatment.
TIER 2 | Higher copay: This category includes preferred, brand name drugs that don't yet have a generic equivalent. These drugs are more expensive than generics, and a higher copay.
TIER 3 | Highest copay: In this category are nonpreferred brand name drugs for which there is either a generic alternative or a more cost-effective preferred brand. These drugs have the highest copay. Make sure to check for mail order discounts that may be available.
SPECIALTY DRUGS
TIER 4 | Lowest Specialty Drug copay: Tier 4 specialty drugs are generally more effective and less expensive than nonpreferred specialty drugs in tier 5.
WHERE CAN I FIND A DRUG LIST?
Typically, a full listing of covered drugs is found on your provider’s website. A drug list, also called a formulary, is a list of generic and brand-name drugs covered by a health plan. Although a drug may be on the drug list, it might not be covered under every plan. Review the plan materials for details on specific benefits.
On a maintenance medication, you take each month?

A virtual visit lets you see and talk to a doctor from your mobile device or computer. When you use one of the provider groups in our virtual visit network, you have benefit coverage for certain non-emergency medical conditions. Costs must be paid by you at the time of the virtual visit and will apply toward your deductible and out-of-pocket maximum.
WHEN CAN I USE A VIRTUAL VISIT?
When you have a non-emergency condition and:
*Your covered children may also use virtual visits when a parent or legal guardian is present for the visit.
Examples of non-emergency conditions:
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The first time you use a virtual visits provider, you will need to set up an account with that virtual visit's provider group. You will need to complete the patient registration process to gather medical history, pharmacy preference, primary care physician contact information, and insurance information.
Each time you have a virtual visit, you will be asked some brief medical questions, including questions about your current medical concern. If appropriate, you will then be connected using secure live audio and video technology to a doctor licensed to deliver care in the state you are in at the time of your visit. You and the doctor will discuss your medical issue, and, if appropriate, the doctor may write a prescription* for you.
Virtual visits doctors use e-prescribing to submit prescriptions to the pharmacy of your choice. Costs for the virtual visit and prescription drugs are based on, and payable under, your medical and pharmacy benefit. They are not covered as part of your virtual visits benefit.
*Prescription services may not be available in all states.
HOW DO I GET ACCESS?
