Which Coverage Level Is Best?

You get to choose how much coverage you need and how you want to pay for it. When you choose your coverage level, you get to pick the one with the features you want.

Your coverage level determines how much you pay out of your paycheck (premiums). It also determines how much you pay out of your pocket when you receive care. Make sure to take your total costs into consideration when choosing a coverage level.

Don’t let the names of the coverage levels fool you. One option isn’t better than another. The coverage levels are designed to give you choices. It’s up to you to find the one that makes sense for your situation.
