Kaiser Permanente Options Plan (Plan #6813500, Bargaining Unit) (Plan #6966300, Salaried)
Kaiser Permanente Options provides you with flexibility when seeking covered medical services by allowing you to receive care within or outside of the Kaiser Permanente network. You will be required to elect a primary care physician (PCP), and you will maximize your coverage by having care provided or referred by your PCP. This plan offers members a combination of in-network managed services and out-of-network services, which can be from any qualified provider. In-network services usually require co-insurance after the deductible is met. Out-of-network services are subject to a higher annual deductible and a co-insurance payment, typically 30 percent of remaining covered expenses up to an annual out-of-pocket limit.
 Prescription coverage is available through a local pharmacy or the mail order program.

UnitedHealthcare (Plan #702633)
UnitedHealthcare Options PPO has access to a broad network of physicians and hospitals nationwide. The traditional plan design offers two levels of coverage – a higher level of benefits apply for in-network services, and a lower level of benefits is available for non-network services with somewhat higher deductibles, co-insurance and co-payments. The plan includes a full spectrum of covered services and direct access to specialists without the need to gain approval from a primary care doctor.

Delta Dental/Washington Dental Service (Plan #00522) This plan is available to all HEWT-eligible employees. The plan provides coverage for Preventative/Diagnostic Service, Basic Services, Major Services and Orthodontia. It gives you the freedom to receive care from a participating Delta PPO Network, Delta Premier Network dentist or from any dentist of your choosing. Services provided by Delta Dental PPO or Premier dentists are based upon a negotiated fee schedule. This means if you incur any out-of-pocket costs, they will be based on the Delta negotiated fees and not the dentist's actual charge. However, if you choose to go to an out-of-network dentist, not only will you pay your share of coinsurance and/or deductible, you may also pay the balance bill - the difference between what Delta says is the reasonable and customary cost and what the dentist actually charges. It is further incentive for you to use participating dentists.
