Understanding Your Health Plan Benefits

Health plans can feel confusing, but learning the basics can help you get the care you need without stress.

Your health plan gives you:

  • A Primary Care Physician (PCP) who helps manage your care
  • Access to specialists when needed
  • Coverage for hospital care, urgent care, and preventive screenings
  • Transportation benefits (in some Medicare plans)
  • Wellness programs and classes
  • Incentive programs for healthy actions

     

How to make the most of your plan

  1. Choose a PCP you trust.
    Your PCP is your main partner in managing your health.
  2. Always take your insurance card to appointments.
  3. Ask questions.
    It’s okay to ask your doctor to explain something in a simple way.
  4. Bring all your medications to your visit.
    This helps prevent mistakes and keeps your care safe.
  5. Use your health plan benefits.
    Many members do not know their plan includes free rides, fitness programs, or gift card rewards.
