CSL Medical Plans

One fact of life that’s hard to avoid: There’s a good chance you’ll need medical care at some point. Whether you’ve twisted your wrist, your child has a fever, or you just need an annual checkup, you’ll be glad to have medical coverage you can count on through CSL.

Your Medical Plan Choices

CSL offers a range of medical plans to meet your diverse needs. You have three coverage options to choose from:

  • Basic Plan: A preferred provider organization (PPO) option with prescription drug copays
  • High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) with Health Savings Account (HSA): A high-deductible option with an HSA and prescription drug coinsurance
  • Premium Plan: A PPO option with prescription drug copays

For each of the three options, you can choose between two comprehensive national provider networks:

  • UMR by UnitedHealthcare: UnitedHealthcare provider network: Choice Plus
  • Meritain Health, an Aetna company: Aetna provider network: Aetna Choice POS II

The best coverage option and network for you depend on your preferences and needs. Both the Meritain Health and UMR networks include prescription drug coverage through CVS Caremark.

With all the plans, you can choose any doctor or facility, but you’ll pay less when you use in-network providers. The plans all pay 100% of in-network preventive care services, with no copay or deductible.

If you live in California, Colorado, Georgia, Maryland, Oregon, Virginia, Washington or Washington, D.C., you may also have access to Kaiser Permanente medical plans, which also offer four plan coverage options.

More About the Annual Deductible

The deductible is what you pay out of pocket before your insurance starts paying its share of your costs. It doesn’t include amounts taken out of your paycheck for health coverage. Here’s how the deductible works if you have family coverage:

The HDHP with HSA coverage option

This option has a "true family deductible." This means that the entire family deductible must be met before your insurance will pay benefits for any covered family member. There is no “individual deductible” in this coverage option when you have family coverage.

The Basic and Premium Plan coverage options

These options have a traditional deductible. This means that once a covered family member meets the individual deductible, your insurance will begin paying benefits for that family member. Charges for all covered family members will continue to count toward the family deductible. Once the family deductible is met, your insurance will pay benefits for all covered family members.

More About the Out-of-Pocket Maximum

The out-of-pocket maximum is the most you and your covered family members would have to pay in a year for health care costs.

All options have a traditional out-of-pocket maximum.

Once a covered family member meets the individual out-of-pocket maximum, your insurance will pay the full cost of covered charges for that family member. Charges for all covered family members will continue to count toward the family out-of-pocket maximum. Once the family out-of-pocket maximum is met, your insurance will pay the full cost of covered charges for all covered family members.

It Pays to Stay In-Network

If you choose an out-of-network provider, you pay more in three ways:

  1. You must meet the higher out-of-network deductible before the plan pays benefits.
  2. You pay a higher out-of-network coinsurance amount.
  3. You pay 100% of the out-of-network provider’s charges that exceed the insurer’s maximum allowed amount.

Tobacco Surcharge

If you’ve used tobacco or tobacco products, including cigarettes, pipes, cigars, chewing tobacco, snuff and e-cigarettes, or any type of smoking or smokeless tobacco in the previous three months, you’ll pay a $50 monthly surcharge in addition to your medical plan premium.

You can qualify to have the surcharge removed by completing a tobacco-cessation program. Please call the CSL Behring Benefit Center at 844-888-BNFT for details about available programs to help you quit tobacco usage.
