Open Enrollment Prize Winners
All Open Enrollment prize winners will be announced soon.
If you enroll in the Premier EPO, Choice HSA or Value Copay medical plan, you are eligible to earn a FREE annual Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) incentive. The incentive is “use it or lose it” and is designed to help steer you to high quality providers when you seek care. When you add a Garner Top Provider to your care team on the Garner App prior to your Garner provider visit, you will earn reimbursement dollars to help cover expenses such as your annual deductible, copays and co-insurance.
New medical option for affiliate employees in Kansas City (KS and MO), Seattle and Spokane, WA and expanding in Southern California.
- This plan offers affordable healthcare with a low deductible, FREE primary care visits and set copays for most other care.
The core of the PCP Partnership Plan is a relationship between you and your designated primary care doctor within the Centivo network who can help keep you healthier, improve your healthcare experience and keep your costs low. - Your doctor, who leads your Primary Care Team, will refer you to high-quality, in-network specialists, ensuring that you’ll get the right care for your needs at the best price.
- When you see your primary care doctor first (remember, these visits are FREE!), get referrals for specialty care and see in-network specialists, you’ll get predictable copays, so you’ll know what you owe before going to the doctor.
