Getting Started

In 2019, most team members can choose from 3 options: Core, Standard, & Value.
In 2019, Legacy US Airways team members represented by the IAM can choose from the PPO 80, PPO 90, PPO 100, and Core options.
The plans are administered by BlueCross BlueShield and UMR, based 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 HMOs, provides you with an Accolade health assistant, your independent health benefits navigator. HMO participants and team members not enrolled in an American medical option can get contact Accolade for information to help them make a plan election at hire or if experiencing a life event. The good news is if you’re covered by an American-offered HMO option, your administrator likely already offers programs similar to Accolade.
All options, excluding HMOs, allow you to earn Wellness Rewards that can help you pay for medical, prescription, vision, or dental expenses.

How the Core, Standard and Value options work

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.

How the PPO 80, PPO 90, and PPO 100 Work

COPAYS

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

DEDUCTIBLE

Medical services that are 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. In the PPO 80 you’ll pay 20% of the cost of services and in the PPO 90 you’ll pay 10% until you reach your out-of-pocket maximum. With the PPO 100 option, once you reach your deductible the plan pays 100% of eligible charges.

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, excluding copays, for the remainder of the year.

Spending Accounts

Whichever option you choose, you’ll have the option to set up a pre-tax 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, while the other plans offer 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.

Dependent Coverage

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.
