Kelsey Care Medical Plan Explained

Kelsey Care Medical Plan Explained from HISD Benefits on Vimeo.

There are three Kelsey ACO plan options

The Basic plan offers lower premiums than Plus options but has higher deductible and coinsurance amounts. This means you will pay more when you need health care. If you don’t visit the doctor often and use the plan mostly for preventive care, the Basic option may be right for you.

The Plus plan has higher premiums than the Basic plan, and the deductible and coinsurance amounts are lower. This means more of your expenses will be covered when you need care. If you think you will visit the doctor often and need more care, the Plus option may be right for you.

The Select plan has the lowest deductible and out-of-pocket maximum, but this option is only available to employees who make $29,120 or less in annual base salary.

Important: the Kelsey-Seybold ACO plan pays benefits ONLY when you receive care from Kelsey Seybold ACO network providers. If you seek care outside the network, you will pay the full cost of care out of your own pocket.

All plan options include prescription drug benefits administered by Express Scripts. You must meet a separate prescription drug deductible each year and then pay the appropriate copay for your prescriptions.
