For California health insurance consumers shopping for a California health insurance plan, ease and convenience ranks right behind benefits and affordability. The same holds true with group health insurance California plans as well for the business owner and Anthem Blue Cross has just the product for you: The EmployeeChoice Portfolio for small groups with 5-50 employees!

If you’ve had the opportunity to review our previous article detailing the many plans available with the Anthem Blue Cross EmployeeElect Portfolio, you know that Anthem Blue Cross is prepared to place a lot of options in front of the small business owner in order to create a health coverage strategy that is uniquely right for your company. On the other hand, Anthem Blue Cross also understands that in some cases, a business owner wants the ease and convenience that comes with a smaller collection of plan offerings and may also want the option to retain a portion of their previous health coverage strategy for the ease, convenience, and peace of mind of their employee team.

That’s why Anthem Blue Cross – in one of Anthem’s three group health insurance California plan portfolios – created the EmployeeChoice Portfolio which features a convenient collection of great health plan strategies along with an option to retain a current HMO plan from another insurance carrier! Today we’re going to take a closer look at the collection of health plans featured within the EmployeeChoice Portfolio and also take a look at one unique feature of the portfolio – the ability to keep a current HMO plan offering from another insurance company within your overall health coverage strategy!

With five plans to choose from, you’ll have your choice of benefit-rich PPO plans, the great savings and other advantages of the HSA-compatible health plan, along with the ease and convenience of an Anthem Blue Cross HMO plan offering. You can choose from one to all five plans and if you select all five, you’ll get to offer another carrier’s HMO as well!

Your plan options within EmployeeChoice:

• PPO $35 Copay GenRx: A PPO plan featuring generic-only prescription drug benefits, keeping the annual deductible of this plan low and the affordability factor high!

• PPO $30 Copay: A good, solid – and popular – mid-range choice that features affordable access to brand name prescription drug benefits.

• Premier $20 Copay: The PPO plan with the ‘richest’ benefits including brand name prescription drug coverage, low annual deductible, and low copays and coinsurance!

• Lumenos HSA 3500 (80/50): The innovative HSA-compatible health plan option from Anthem Blue Cross. Features affordability in a health plan along with the unique advantages of a Health Savings Account to the plan owner.

• Saver $20 HMO: Affordability and the convenience of an HMO for the employee that prefers these health coverage strategies. Features access to both generic and brand name prescription drug benefits!

A great and unique feature of the Anthem Blue Cross EmployeeChoice offering includes this exciting offer: If you choose all five of the plans featured above, your company automatically becomes eligible to carry the HMO of another carrier: If you have employees who are enrolled presently in an HMO that was part of your company’s current health coverage offerings, you can keep that plan in place! That’s easy, convenient, and a great peace of mind benefit for your valued employee team!
