Explore Your Medical Plans

The right plan for you is within your reach, but first you need to know your options. When deciding which medical plan is right for you and your family, it is important to consider the total cost of coverage. This includes what you pay in premiums (via your paycheck) and what you pay for services (out of your pocket). The ideal medical plan provides coverage for your health needs with out-of-pocket costs that fit your budget.

Each of our plans are tailored to meet diverse needs, ensuring each Team Member has access to benefits that align with their health and well-being objectives.

Health Saver Plan (HSA-Eligible)

The Health Saver is a  High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP). If you enroll in the Health Saver plan, you are eligible to enroll in a Health Savings Account (HSA) to set aside pre-tax dollars to help cover medical expenses. When you contribute to a Health Savings Account (HSA), TAG will match your HSA contributions dollar for dollar, up to a certain amount each pay period. Please refer to your Benefit Guide for details.

You can also enroll in a Limited Purpose Flexible Spending Account (FSA) to help pay for dental and vision expenses.

GLP-1 Update: GLP-1s for weight-loss use is covered under the Health Saver (HDHP) only.*

TAG Essential Plan (FSA-Eligible)

This plan has the lowest cost out of each paycheck and offers low copays on the most utilized services and prescriptions! The tradeoff: this plan comes with the highest annual deductible before coinsurance on other applicable services.

However, you can enroll in the Health Care FSA to help cover the costs of copays and the deductible.

PPO (FSA-Eligible)

The Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plan offers low copays and coinsurance for most services, plus a low deductible which means your out-of-pocket medical costs will be low and predictable. This plan has the highest cost per paycheck.

You may also elect to enroll in a Health Care FSA to use toward your out-of-pocket medical costs.

Learn The Lingo

Out-of-Pocket Maximum: This is the most you'll pay for covered expenses in the plan year. Once you reach this limit, the plan covers the rest. This cap ensures you're protected from excessive costs.

In-Network Care: In-network providers offer services at negotiated rates, resulting in cost savings for you.

Out-of-Network Care: When you receive care outside the plan's network, you may experience higher costs and balance billing.

Copay: A fixed dollar amount you pay at the time of service.

Deductible: The amount you pay each year before the plan begins paying benefits.

Coinsurance: The percentage paid for a covered service, shared by you and the plan. Coinsurance can vary by plan. Review the plans carefully to understand your responsibility. You are responsible for coinsurance until you reach your plan's out-of-pocket maximum.

In-Network Care: In-network providers offer services at negotiated rates, resulting in cost savings for you.

Out-of-Network Care: When you receive care outside the plan’s network, you may experience higher costs and balance billing. While you still have the option to seek care outside the network, it’s important to be aware of the financial implications.

Out-of-Pocket Maximum (OOPM): The most you have to pay for covered services in a plan year. After you spend this amount on deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance for in-network care and services, your health plan pays 100% of the costs of covered benefits.
