The 9 Best Ways Your Plan Helps You Save in 2026

1) $0 to see your doctor
Seeing your primary care provider (PCP) for a general appointment has a $0 copay. This helps make it easier for you to see your PCP if you need to. (Access PPO members pay $80 out-of-network after the medical deductible is met.)
