How It Works

This is an open access plan that requires you to choose a primary care physician. As long as you reside in the State of Florida, you may choose a participating network physician of your choice. In order to receive coverage you must utilize HMO providers that participate with Florida Blue, BlueCareHMO. Providers can be found at www.floridablue.com.

Plan Details Include:

• Your School District continues to provide employee medical coverage at no premium cost to you
• Your School District continues to offset a portion of the dependent coverage cost
• Coinsurance applies to all services that do not have set copays
• You must remain in network for services to be covered. Outside the state of Florida only emergency care is covered
• Deductible, coinsurance and copays (including Rx), count toward the maximum out-of-pocket limit
• Medical Flexible Spending Account available (Employee Contributions Only)
• PayFlex Card accounts will not roll over the amount elected in the prior plan year
• As a Florida Blue HMO member, you and your covered dependents have coverage for certain services when you’re away from home. Florida Blue HMO offers separate programs for short trips and long-term stays.Visit this link for more information
