MEDICAL/Rx
Group # 007000163 | (877) 790-2583 | www.bcbsm.com
We will continue to offer two medical and prescription drug options in 2023, all with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan (BCBSM):
- Simply Blue PPO 250
- Simply Blue PPO HSA 1500
A comparison of the options is below:
The Simply Blue 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.
The Simply Blue PPO HSA Plan is a qualified high deductible health plan (HDHP). It is similar to the PPO Plan in that you have the option to choose any provider when you need care. However, you must satisfy a higher deductible that applies to almost all health care expenses, including those for prescription drugs. All expenses are your responsibility until the deductible is reached, with the exception of preventive care, which is covered at 100% when you visit a physician in the network. Once the deductible is met, you are responsible for coinsurance for medical expenses and a copay for prescription drug expenses.
Enrolling in this plan allows you to contribute tax free dollars to a health savings account (HSA). Any dollars that you (and your employer) wish to contribute can be used towards any eligible medical, Rx, dental and vision expenses that you may incur while covered under the plan.
You may find the below information helpful, regardless of which option you choose.
