Benefits in your plan
We take care of the whole you. That means you’re covered if you need to see a specialist, have an emergency or plan to start a family. We also offer a wide range of preventive care and vaccinations. You can start by finding a provider today.
We make it easy for you to get the medicine you need to feel better. You may have a copay when you see your medicine on the Statewide Preferred Drug List (PDL) or the Supplemental Formulary.

If your medicine isn’t on the list, your provider can ask us for an exception. And you can fill your prescription at any pharmacy in our network.
