Health Plan Options for 2018
The state is offering four statewide medical plans for 2018: Wellness Consumer-Driven Health Plan (Wellness CDHP), Consumer-Driven Health Plan 1 (CDHP1), Consumer-Driven Health Plan 2 (CDHP2) and Traditional Preferred Provider Organization (PPO). All four available plans are in the National (BlueCard) PPO network with Anthem and have a prescription drug plan through CVS Caremark. Each plan has differences in premium costs, deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums.
Please note, in order to be eligible to enroll in the 2018 Wellness CDHP you must have reached an Earned Status of Silver in Go365 on August 31, 2017. This means all points were processed and posted to your Go365 account by the August 31 deadline. If you qualify for the Wellness CDHP and wish to enroll in the plan for 2018, you must select this option within your Open Enrollment event. You are not automatically enrolled in the plan unless you are enrolled in the Wellness Plan for the 2017 plan year. If you are enrolled in the 2017 Wellness CDHP but do not qualify for the 2018 Wellness CDHP, your coverage automatically switches to CDHP 1, unless you actively elect another plan.

Family Out-of-Pocket Changes for Wellness CDHP and CDHP 1
The individual embedded out-of-pocket maximum for the family Wellness CDHP and CDHP 1 changes in 2018 from $7,150 to $7,350. The individual embedded out-of-pocket maximum saves families money by limiting the cost spent on any one person to $7,350. Once a family member meets the individual embedded out-of-pocket maximum, all claims incurred by that family member are 100 percent paid by the plan. The other family members on the plan continue to pay the coinsurance amounts for any claims they incur until the family out-of-pocket maximum of $8,000 is reached.
