| Your medical plan options provide regular medical care and pharmacy benefits for the diagnosis and treatment of most illnesses and injuries. The medical plans cover in-network preventive care at no cost to you and provide emergency and urgent care on a worldwide basis, subject to modest copayments. An out-of-network benefit gives you more flexibility when selecting a provider.
There is no pre-existing condition clause in the medical plans. This means that you and your eligible dependents will have coverage for any medical condition, including pregnancy, as soon as your coverage becomes effective.
Within each geographic location or zone is a base plan that offers the lowest copayments and rates. You may choose a medical plan that is available where you live or work. For example, if you live in the Greater Minnesota zone but work in the Duluth area zone, you can choose a plan in either zone.
