• In 2021, all U.S.-based mainline team members have available to them the Core, Standard and High Cost Coverage medical options.
• In 2021, team members who live in the Dallas-Fort Worth area can also choose the DFW ConnectedCare option administered by Baylor Scott & White Quality Alliance (BSWQA).
• Certain legacy US Airways team members represented by the IAM (including accreted team members) were grandfathered into the PPO 80 and PPO 90 medical options.
• The plans (other than DFW ConnectedCare) are administered by BlueCross BlueShield or UMR, depending on where you live.
• Some team members qualify for an HMO (health maintenance organization) option based on where you live.
• All options include prescription coverage through Express Scripts.
• All options, excluding DFW ConnectedCare and HMOs, provides you with an Accolade health assistant, your independent health benefits navigator. The good news is if you’re covered by an American-offered HMO option, your administrator likely already offers programs similar to Accolade. The DFW ConnectedCare option provides you with a health care coordinator who will help connect you to a team of experts who understand your health care needs.

No deductible: You will not have to pay a large out-of-pocket expense before the plan starts sharing your costs. 

Copays when you need care: You’ll know how much you’ll spend for most care. 

Faster access: Take advantage of same-day appointments, extended hours and on-site lab and imaging services. Also, Baylor Scott & White Health providers have appointment spots slated just for patients enrolled in DFW ConnectedCare.

Convenient care: Manage your health care needs, review your medical record, make appointments and connect with a provider through eVisits or Video Visits — all within the MyBSWHealth app. 

Navigation and support: Dedicated health care coordinators can assist you with appointment scheduling, provider searches, where to go for care and billing questions.

FREE PREVENTIVE CARE

All the options cover eligible in-network preventive care — like physical exams, flu shots, and screenings — at 100% when you use in-network providers.

COPAYS

A copay is a fixed amount you pay for a health care service. Copays do not count toward your deductible but do count toward satisfying your annual out-of-pocket maximum.

DEDUCTIBLE

Medical services that are not considered preventive care or not subject to a copay will require you to pay the full cost of care until you meet your annual deductible.

COINSURANCE

Once you’ve met your deductible, you and American share the cost of care, called coinsurance. When you use in-network providers, you’ll pay 20% and American will pay 80% of the cost until you’ve reached your out-of-pocket maximum.

OUT-OF-POCKET MAXIMUM

An out-of-pocket maximum is the most you’ll pay during a year. After you reach your out-of-pocket maximum, American picks up the full cost of covered medical care for the remainder of the year.

Whichever option you choose, you’ll have the option to set up a pretax account that can be used to pay eligible medical, prescription drug, dental, vision and dependent care expenses.

With the Core option, you can set up a health savings account and a limited purpose flexible spending account. With the other options, or even if you choose to waive coverage, you can choose to open a health care flexible spending account. Be sure to consider the value of these accounts when choosing your plan.

You can review all the details on the Spending Accounts page.

You can choose to elect coverage only for yourself, even if you cover dependents for other benefits, like vision or dental. However, if you do elect medical coverage for a dependent then you must be enrolled as well.
