Medical Plans
The
City's health insurance plan is self-insured and self-administered
with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona (BCBSAZ) as our in-network provider. Members may choose among four different medical plans depending
upon their needs.
The four medical plans offered are:
- Choice PPO Plan (80/20) - This plan
features 80% coverage after the $300 deductible has been met
for in-network services. PPO
BCBSAZ providers are considered as in-network for this plan.
$2,000 out of pocket annual maximum per person.
- Choice Plus PPO Plan (90/10) - This
plan provides 90% coverage after the $200 deductible has
been met. PPO BCBSAZ providers
are considered as in-network for this plan. $1,000 out of
pocket annual maximum per person.
- Copay Choice PPO Plan - There is a $20 copay for office
visits. PPO BCBSAZ providers are considered
in-network.
- Basic Choice Plan (50/50) - This plan
offers catastrophic coverage for the individual with few
medical expenses. $550 deductible per person, coinsurance
50/50, $5,000 out of pocket annual maximum per person.
PPO BCBSAZ providers are
considered as in-network.
