Medical Coverage Level

In a hurry? Get the highlights the easy way—just watch the video! (Closed captioning is available.)

Which Coverage Level Is Best?

You get to choose how much coverage you need and how you want to pay for it. It’s up to you! When you choose your coverage level, you get to pick the one with the features you want. If you’re enrolling again, consider what changes you may be facing. Change is constant, so make sure you do your homework before sticking with what you had in the past.

Your coverage level determines how much you pay out of your paycheck (premiums). It also determines how much you pay out of your pocket when you receive care (deductibles, coinsurance, copays).

Don’t let the names of the coverage levels fool you. One option isn’t better than another. The coverage levels are designed to give you choices. It’s up to you to find the one that makes sense for your situation.

These charts may not take into account how each coverage level covers any state-mandated benefits, its plan administration capabilities, or the approval from the state Department of Insurance of the benefits offered by the plan. If you have questions about a specific benefit, contact the insurance carrier for additional information. Individual carriers may offer coverage that differs slightly from the standard coverage reflected here. In the event that there is a discrepancy between this site and the official plan documents, the official plan documents will control.

These charts are a high-level listing of commonly covered benefits across carriers and coverage levels for the Aon Active Health Exchange. They are intended to provide you with a snapshot of benefits provided across coverage levels. In general, carriers have agreed to the majority of standardized plan benefits recommended by the exchange.

For a more detailed look at these and additional coverages, go to the Caesars Benefit Service Center at www.caesars.benefitsnow.com. It does account for any carrier adjustments to standardized plan benefits. To see summaries when you enroll online, check the boxes next to the options you want to review and click Compare. In order to get the most comprehensive information about any specific coverage, you will need to call the carrier directly.

Note: For additional comparison, you may find Summaries of Benefits and Coverage on the Caesars Benefit Service Center at www.caesars.benefitsnow.com.


California Residents: Your options will be different, depending on the insurance carrier you choose. See what's different.

Out-of-Area: Your specific options are based on your home zip code. If you live outside the service areas of all the insurance carriers, you can choose an out-of-area option at the Silver coverage level. Aetna will be the insurance carrier. (Note: The Silver option available to out-of-area individuals is different than the Silver option on this site. Refer to www.caesars.benefitsnow.com for details.)

Choosing a Primary Care Physician: Certain options require you to choose a primary care physician. You may need to designate a primary care physician to coordinate your care if you choose Kaiser Permanente or Health Net as your insurance carrier.

Do You Take Any Prescription Drugs?

This is really important! Your prescription drug coverage will be provided through your pharmacy benefit manager. The pharmacy benefit manager could be a separate prescription drug company. Team Members who enroll under Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Cigna, or UnitedHealthcare will have their pharmacy benefits managed by CVS Caremark. All other carriers will manage their own prescription drug coverage.

While your coverage level will determine your coverage for prescription drugs, each pharmacy benefit manager has its own rules. You need to make sure you’re comfortable with how your and your family's medications will be covered. Get the details.
