Your RRD Medical Program can help support your health and manage your health care costs.
Overview
You have four National Medical Program options provided by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois (BCBSIL):
- HSA Value (eligible for a Health Savings Account)
- HSA Advantage (eligible for a Health Savings Account)
- Copay Value
- Copay Advantage
All options include prescription drug coverage provided through CVS Caremark.
Depending on where you live, you might be eligible for a regional medical option.
Choosing Your Providers
With any of the National Medical Program options, you can use in-network or out-of-network providers, but you will save money when you receive care from in-network providers. Use the BCBSIL Provider Finder tool to find providers by location, and compare them based on price, patient reviews and recognition. You can also check to be sure your providers are in-network by calling the number on the back of your insurance ID card prior to receiving services.
2024 National Medical Program Options
Here’s an overview of the National Medical Program options. The annual deductible (amount you pay before receiving benefits) applies to all services except in-network preventive care. Your out-of-pocket maximum protects you in case of unexpected or catastrophic expenses. This is the most you will ever have to pay in a calendar year for covered and allowed medical expenses.
