CaliforniaChoice Expands Member Options in 2023

November 29, 2022by Alex Strautman

At CaliforniaChoice, we’ve partnered with eight top health plans to bring Californians the most extensive variety of HMO, PPO, EPO, and other benefit options to choose from. Our program includes different price points so you also have the power to control your costs.

We’re proud to offer access to the following health plans:

  • Anthem Blue Cross
  • Cigna + Oscar
  • Health Net
  • Kaiser Permanente
  • Sharp Health Plan
  • Sutter Health Plus
  • UnitedHealthcare
  • Western Health Advantage

We’re delivering on our goal to provide access to more health care choices in 2023 by expanding our network and coverage options. CaliforniaChoice is adding two networks, giving you and your employees access to a total of 20 network options. We’re also boosting your HMO, PPO, EPO, and Health Savings Account-qualified plans, so you have 130+ options from which to select. That’s 20 more than in 2022. It’s now easier than ever before for you and your employees to find coverage that matches your unique needs.

More Coverage Is Just the Beginning

More health care choices aren’t the only way CaliforniaChoice is different. We help you stay on budget and provide value-added benefits at no cost to you.

  • Cost Control: You decide what amount you want to contribute to the premium for employees. You can choose a fixed percentage (50% to 100%) of a specific plan and/or benefit. Or, you can choose a fixed dollar amount for each employee. Your employees then apply your contribution to the plans they like best. If the cost exceeds your contribution, the employees pay the difference. At renewal, you can adjust your contribution – up or down.
  • Dental, Vision, Life, and Chiro: It’s easy to add SmileSaver Dental HMO coverage or Ameritas Dental PPO coverage. These plans can help employees maintain their oral health. Three options are available.
  • Voluntary Vision: Choose from three Vision options, including one at no additional cost. The Vision One Eyecare Discount Program is part of the Member Value Suite. Two Voluntary Vision are available from EyeMed and VSP.
  • Life Insurance: Assurity Life offers valuable benefits in case of death – plus a partial payout in case of a terminal illness diagnosis.
  • Business Solutions Suite: Get HR support from Mineral, a Flexible Spending Account for employees, Cal-COBRA or federal COBRA billing, and Premium Only Plans, too. It is all available through the CaliforniaChoice Business Solutions Suite.
  • Member Value Suite: Take advantage of great savings on Dental, Vision, and Hearing services, and prescription drugs. Enjoy discounts of up to 57% on Garmin, Vitamix, and Fitbit products. Start a fitness membership for $25 per month, and save big on movies, theme parks, hotels, and much more with Cal Perks.  
  • Consolidated Billing: Whether your business has one employee or 100, you’ll get a single, consolidated monthly bill. It lists all coverage, your contributions, and employee deductions.
