Find the Right Care​

We make it easy to find what you need by specialty, by plan, and by location.

Search for doctors, pharmacies, hospitals, urgent care centers, and other Providers who are in-network for our healthcare plans.

Grace Period

If you do not pay your premium on time, it’s considered late, and you enter a grace period. During that time you will still be covered, but you will have a late payment.

Watch a video or view an infographic to see how long the grace period is and what benefits you risk losing if you don’t make your payment before the grace period ends.

Mail Order Pharmacy

Medications can get expensive and confusing if you are prescribed several drugs.

We’ve teamed up with Postal Prescription Services to help you to get the right prescription drugs at the right time for the lowest cost.

Advanced Premium Tax Credit​

The Advanced Premium Tax Credit (APTC) is a tax credit to lower your monthly health insurance premium. When you enroll, you will estimate your expected income for the year. If you qualify for a premium tax credit based on your estimate, you can use that amount to lower your premium. To keep the credit, you must send proof of your estimated income within 30 days.

As a Member, you have multiple ways to make a premium payment:

  • Pay online through your My Member Account or make a Quick Payment.

Find Answers

We’re here to help!

Visit our list of Frequently Asked Questions for answers for everything from basic health insurance terms to information about in-network and out-of-network doctors, and from deductibles and how to make payments to complicated healthcare laws.

Answers will vary for On-Exchange and Off-Exchange Members, so make sure to select the correct category. If you enrolled through healthcare.gov and/or you receive a subsidy, you have an On-Exchange health plan. If you signed up for a health plan with a broker, agent or web broker who did NOT enroll you via healthcare.gov, you have an Off-Exchange health plan.

Preventive Services​

All of our plans cover certain preventive medical services free of charge, meaning you won’t pay a copay even if you haven’t met your deductible. These services include vaccinations, well-woman visits, certain cancer screenings, alcohol and tobacco screenings and counseling, and much more. Visit the Preventive Care Benefits site to see what’s available to you for free. You may also download a chart to learn which screenings are recommended according to your age.

Cost Share Reduction​

A Cost Share Reduction (CSR) is a discount that lowers the amount you have to pay for deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance. This equals extra savings for you.

If you qualify for cost sharing reductions, you also have a lower out-of-pocket maximum, which is the most you have to pay for covered medical expenses per year before insurance pays 100%. The amount of extra savings you receive depends on your income. The lower your income, the higher your extra savings may be.
