Choosing a medical plan can be complicated. Understanding the difference between a Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) plan and a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plan may help you decide the best plan for you and your family. PPO plans allow you more flexibility in choosing which healthcare provider you see. HMO plans are a network of healthcare providers that coordinate care for you. They generally will not cover out-of-network care, except in some cases of an emergency. Refer to our Benefits Spotlight Series: Healthcare Options and the RCUH Health Insurance Plan Comparison to view the differences. Your medical premiums will vary according to the plan and number of dependents you select.

If you miss the 30-day deadline, you will need to wait until the next Open Enrollment Period. If you experience any issues, please Contact the RCUH Employee Benefits section immediately (i.e., prior to the end of the 30-day deadline).
