Choosing and personalizing your benefits depends on your specific health care needs, doctor preferences, budget and lifestyle.
We offer you and your dependents a range of medical plan options. To learn more:
The Blue Shield EPO plan is a comprehensive medical plan that covers only in-network providers and facilities. You pay a co-payment at the point of service and the university covers the remaining costs.
The Blue Shield HDHP works the same as the Blue Shield PPO plan, but there are no fixed copays with this plan. Instead, after you meet your deductible the university shares the cost of all benefits, including prescription drugs.
The Blue Shield PPO plan provides you with the flexibility to go to the provider or medical facility of your choice—even if your provider or the facility is not in the Blue Shield network.
The Kaiser Permanente HMO plan provides patient services, hospitalization, supplies and prescription drugs through its own network of doctors, hospitals and other Kaiser-affiliated health care facilities. The Kaiser HMO is one of two health plans offered to employees-only at no cost.
The SHCA plan is a select network health plan in which Stanford Health Care physicians and affiliated providers in multiple specialties take responsibility for working together to carefully coordinate and deliver your care. The SHCA plan is one of two health plans offered to employees-only at no cost.
