Summary

The Essential Plan is the right option for you if your primary care physician is not a Renown provider. The Essential Plan includes the entire Senior Care Plus network of doctors and specialists, including priority access to Renown Health facilities. The Essential Plan has been enhanced in 2023 with an updated hearing benefit from NationsHearing® that includes a $0 hearing exam and a generous hearing aid benefit. NationsOTC® provides a $25 quarterly Over-the-Counter benefit with free two-day shipping. The plan also has a Preventive Dental benefit from Liberty Dental. The prescription drug coverage included in the Essential Plan is extensive, and includes select insulins at the $35. Personal Assistants, who can help schedule appointments and navigate the healthcare system are included when you select a Renown Primary Care Provider (PCP). Above is a partial list of benefits and should not be construed as a complete list. Please refer to the Evidence of Coverage in the plan documents section above for a complete list of benefits. Out-Of-Network Providers: If you use an out-of-network provider, your share of the costs for your covered services may be higher. Out-of-network providers are under no obligation to treat members, except in emergency situations. For a decision about whether we will cover an out-of-network service, we encourage you or your provider to ask us for a pre-service organization determination before you receive the service. Please call our customer service number or see your Evidence of Coverage for more information, including the cost sharing that applies to out-of-network services.
