Scales of Coverage

With four different levels of coverage, our health plans offer you the flexibility to scale coverage to meet your needs.

Each scale provides health and dental coverage. There are also four Optional Coverages you can add to enhance your chosen scale of coverage.

Scale 1
Our basic plan, provides coverage for a range of medical and dental expenses for you and your family.
Scale 2
Provides more comprehensive coverage for the same expenses covered under Scale 1, plus visioncare and hearing aids.
Scale 3
Our broadest plan, provides more generous coverage for the same expenses covered under Scale 2, plus major dental services such as crowns, bridges and dentures.
Scale 4
Provides the same generous coverage as scale 3 but with no coverage for prescription drugs.
