Amy’s offers three medical plan options, the EPO, PPO, and HDHP + HSA, so you can choose the coverage that fits your health care needs and budget.
No matter which plan you choose, you will use the Anthem/BCBS provider network, with Allied Benefit Systems administering your medical benefits and claims.
Each plan covers in-network preventive care at no cost, but how you pay for other care varies. Take time to compare your options and consider what you’ll pay from your paycheck and when you receive care.
Each medical plan balances what you pay from your paycheck with what you pay when you receive care.
The lowest deductible and coinsurance of the three plans, with in-network coverage only, except for emergencies.
Offers both in- and out-of-network coverage and $0 in-network office visit copays.
A higher deductible with lower paycheck deductions, plus an HSA with money from Amy’s to help pay for eligible health care expenses.
Staying up to date on preventive care can help you and your family stay healthy and may reduce future health care costs by catching problems early. All three medical plans cover eligible in-network preventive care at no cost to you.
Need care without the waiting room? When you’re enrolled in any Amy’s medical plan, you can connect virtually with a licensed physician, psychologist or psychiatrist anytime, anywhere.

When deciding which medical plan is right for you, it is important to consider the total cost of coverage. This includes what you pay in premiums and what you pay for services.

The HDHP + HSA works differently from Amy’s other medical plans. You’ll generally pay more when you receive care before meeting your deductible, but you’ll pay less from your paycheck and have an HSA to help you save and pay for eligible expenses. Amy’s contributes $1,000 for individual coverage or $2,000 for family coverage to your HSA. Explore the Health Savings Account (HSA) page for more information.
In addition to the HSA, if you enroll in the HDHP + HSA plan, Amy’s automatically provides Critical Illness and Hospital Indemnity insurance at no cost to you. Review the HDHP Additional Benefits page for more information.
TouchCare gives you free, confidential access to a Personal Health Assistant who can help you navigate your medical benefits and get more from your coverage. They can help you find in-network providers, compare costs, schedule appointments, understand medical bills and answer benefit questions.
Knowing where to go for care can save you time, money, and hassle. Our medical plan offers a range of care options to address any medical issues you may encounter. Remember to save the Emergency Room for true emergencies.

Note: Ask your doctor to set up a follow-up visit if further diagnosis or treatment is necessary. In order to receive preventive care at no cost, the preventive services must be the sole purpose of your doctor’s visit.
