During Open Enrollment, if you enroll in certain plans in the Southern California area, you will choose a “standard option” or the MemorialCare Health Alliance “Preferred Partnership option”. 

• The standard options continue to use a network in the Southern California area that includes a variety of major health systems and providers, plus a national network outside of Southern California.
• The Preferred Partnership options use a network in the Southern California that consists of MemorialCare Health Alliance Providers.  Outside of the Southern California area, the Preferred Partnership options don’t have a network, but they do include out-of-region urgent and emergency care coverage. 

Before you select any coverage option, you may want to make sure your providers and hospitals participate in the plan’s network.

The Preferred Partnership option has a broad provider network — with primary care providers (PCPs), specialists, urgent care facilities and hospitals located throughout Orange County, south Los Angeles County and the San Gabriel Valley. To receive network benefits, generally you and your family need to use only Southern California-area providers in the MemorialCare Health Alliance network. Emergency care, however, is covered at the network level, even if the provider is not in the MemorialCare Health Alliance network, or if you are traveling outside the Southern California area and you need emergency care.

If you otherwise receive medical services from providers not in the MemorialCare Health Alliance network, and the services are not for emergency care, those services would be covered at the nonnetwork level.

If you cover a child under the plan who lives outside the Southern California area, including a non-Medicare-eligible child, the standard option may be a better choice for your family.

Enhanced services, including:

• Quicker access to network primary care providers and specialists.
• More after-hours care availability.
• Dedicated care teams for complex medical situations.
• Greater use of electronic messaging, and access to your electronic medical records.

Plan design and cost features mirror the standard plan options with the exception of a few key enhancements, including:

• Lower paycheck contributions for the Traditional Medical Plan*
• If you are an active employee, you receive an increased company contribution to your Health Savings Account if enrolled in the Advantage + health plan.*
• You pay no cost for network PCP office visits and generic prescriptions are covered at 100% (must first satisfy the annual deductible for the Advantage+ health plan, if applicable).
