    National Medical Options

    Last Updated December 16, 2024

    Jump to: Overview Medical Program Options

    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):

    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.

    2025 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.

    Coverage Transparency

    The federal Transparency in Coverage rule requires our group health plan to publicly share detailed price and cost-sharing information starting July 1, 2022. The Rule requires health plans to post machine readable files (MRFs) that show the negotiated rates for in-network providers and the allowed amounts for out-of-network providers, for certain services covered by the group health plan. Each of our health plan insurers and third-party administrators will publish the MRFs online and update them each month at the following links:

    Note that MRFs are formatted to allow third parties, such as researchers, regulators and app developers, to more easily access and analyze data about health care costs and may be difficult for others to review.
