Medical coverage is provide by Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and is available to Diocesan employees who are scheduled to regularly work 30-hours or more. Two options are available, each with its own advantages.
EPO – Under this plan employees notice a savings in premium in exchange for a slightly higher annual deductible and in-network coverage only. Typically an employee who chooses this plan is looking for catastrophic coverage but still enjoys low co-pays and broad coverage.
PPO – Under this plan employees encounter a higher premium in exchange for less out-of-pocket expense and both in and out of network providers. Employees who choose this plan tend to visit the doctors office more frequently and travel.
Both options provide great benefits and are suited to meet the medical needs of all employees.
