Traditional PPO

The Traditional PPO medical plan has full coverage for in-network preventive care with you sharing the cost of other services through co-pays, coinsurance and your deductible. You have the same UnitedHealthcare (UHC) Choice Plus network of doctors as the HSA PPO plan. If you reside in Maine, Massachusetts or New Hampshire you have access to both the Choice Plus network and UHC’s broader Harvard Pilgrim network. You must meet your annual deductible before the plan begins to pay benefits. Co-pays for office and specialist visits, do not apply to your annual deductible, but do apply to your annual out-of-pocket maximum. Prescription drugs are part of your deductible. Visit the Pharmacy page for more information.

You are eligible to enroll in the General Purpose Flexible Spending Account (GPFSA) for your out-of-pocket expenses, when enrolled in the Traditional PPO plan.

The Traditional PPO plan gives you the option to visit any provider, allowing you to shop around when you need health care. You can visit any doctor or facility, but you will receive the best value when you go in-network. To find in-network providers, visit UHC’s website.
