Choosing the right plan supports your physical and emotional health, as well as your financial well-being. Capital One provides valuable benefits that help you and your family be well and pay for care if you get sick or injured.

 

Overview

You have access to three medical plan options: a Consumer-Driven Health Plan (CDHP) and two PPO options through Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield. These medical plan options offer you a range of coverage levels and costs, so you can choose the one that’s best for you and your family. You can enroll as a new hire, during Open Enrollment, or if you have a qualifying life event. To see your contributions or enroll, go to the Benefits Application in Workday.

Key features at a glance

All our medical plans provide:

feature image
  • Comprehensive, affordable coverage for the same range of health care services, including common services such as doctor visits, screenings and hospitalizations, as well as more specialized care like Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) therapy, fertility treatment, transgender surgery, and more.

  • Free preventive care, covered at 100% to ensure you can get the care you need. Preventive care includes services such as annual physicals, preventive lab work, recommended immunizations, and routine cancer screenings.

  • Prescription drug coverage included with each medical plan. Prescription benefits are provided by CVS Caremark.

  • Financial protection through annual out-of-pocket maximums that limit the amount you’ll pay each year.

  • The same broad network of doctors and hospitals, offering you more choices and better savings. Our medical plans also offer the flexibility to see out-of-network providers, but your costs will be higher.

  • Programs and resources to support your health goals and help you get the most from your coverage.

Preventive care vs. diagnostic care: What’s the difference?

Preventive care helps you stay healthy and can detect illnesses before you experience symptoms. Diagnostic care is used to find the cause of existing illnesses. For example, say your doctor suggests you have a colonoscopy because of your age when you have no symptoms. That's preventive care. On the other hand, say you have symptoms and your doctor suggests a colonoscopy to see what's causing them. That's diagnostic care.

Do you have a PCP?

Finding a primary care physician (PCP) you can relate to, feel comfortable with, and trust with private matters can make a big difference in your overall health and well-being. A PCP gets to know the “whole you,” and will have a more complete picture of your health needs. They’ll know your medical history and habits, and they’ll recognize changes and be able to recommend action to avoid any serious problems later.

If you’re healthy, a PCP helps you stay that way. And if you’re managing an ongoing health problem, they can make sure you have the support you need. Having this kind of care can mean lower health care costs, fewer sick days, and better access to specialized care when you do need it. To support you in establishing a relationship, all visits to in-network PCPs are covered at 100% under our Basic PPO and Enhanced PPO plans. Find a doctor.

 

Side-by-Side Medical Plan Comparison

As you compare the available plan options, it’s important to note the key distinctions between them. Note that the per paycheck cost of the Basic PPO and the CDHP are the same. Check out Cost of Coverage for more details.

First, here’s a breakdown of some key features of the CDHP and PPOs:

How the deductible works
Basic PPO and Enhanced PPOs CDHP
  • Lower Deductibles: The deductible only applies to certain medical expenses and is lower compared to the CDHP.
  • Which Services Don’t Apply to the Deductible: The PPO plans cover many items and services before the deductible is met, but co-pays for office visits and prescription drugs are not subject to the deductible.
  • When You Cover Dependents: If you cover dependents, the family deductible can be met by any combination of family members, but an individual is only responsible for their own individual amount.

  • Higher Deductible: The deductible applies to both medical and prescription drug expenses. The deductible is higher compared to the PPOs.
  • Full Family Deductible: If you cover any dependents, the full family deductible must be met before the plan will begin to pay benefits for any one person.

    The individual deductible will only apply if you enroll in associate-only coverage.
How the out-of-pocket maximum works
Basic PPO and Enhanced PPOs CDHP
  • Individual Out-of-pocket Maximum: If you cover any dependents, one person can meet the individual out-of-pocket maximum and the plan will cover expenses for that one person’s expenses at 100% for the remainder of the calendar year.

    Once the entire family out-of-pocket maximum is met, the plan will pay 100% for all family members.
  • Full Family Out-of-pocket Maximum: If you cover any dependents, the full family out-of-pocket maximum must be met before the plan will begin to pay benefits at 100% for the remainder of the calendar year.

    One person or a combination of family members can satisfy the full amount. The individual out-of-pocket maximum will only apply if you enroll in associate-only coverage.

Now, here's an overview of how the three medical plans pay benefits for medical expenses.

CDHP with HSA

The Consumer-Driven Health Plan (CDHP) is a type of medical plan with low premiums, a higher deductible, and a tax-free Health Savings Account (HSA), that gives you the flexibility to spend or save your health care dollars.

The CDHP provides the same comprehensive medical coverage as both PPOs; however, the plan has a higher deductible that you’ll need to meet before the plan begins to pay benefits.

You’ll automatically be enrolled in a Health Savings Account (HSA)* when you enroll in the CDHP. As an added bonus, Capital One will contribute to your HSA — $500 for individual coverage and $1,000 if you cover any dependents. You can also contribute pre-tax dollars up to the annual IRS maximum and then use these funds to help pay for current medical expenses, or save them for the future.

Please note: HSA contributions are prorated for mid-year enrollments. While enrolled in the plan, Capital One will contribute the following per pay period: $19.23 for individual coverage, $38.46 when you cover a dependent.

*Per the USA PATRIOT Act, you may be asked to provide additional information in order for your HSA to be established. If you do not provide the required information to open your account (or are not able to open an account), you forfeit the company HSA contributions.

With the CDHP, you can see any provider you wish, but you will save money when you stay in network.

How the CDHP works

You pay the plan contribution from your paycheck to have coverage.

icon 

HSA

You can set aside tax-free money from your paycheck (and will receive Capital One's contributions) to help cover your costs — now, or in the future.

icon 

Deductible

You pay 100% of your medical and prescription costs until you meet the annual deductible.*

icon 

Coinsurance

After meeting the deductible, you and the plan share the cost of certain services, with the plan paying 80% in-network and you only pay 20%.

icon 

Out-of-Pocket Maximum

You’re protected by an annual limit on costs — the plan pays 100% of any further covered expenses for the rest of the year.

feature image
To help you out, you get your own tax-free savings account.

A Health Savings Account (HSA) is a tax-free savings account only available to associates who enroll in a CDHP. Unlike Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA), there is no “use-it-or-lose-it-rule” — any year-end balance is always yours to keep. Use your HSA to accumulate tax-free money you can spend on eligible medical, prescription, dental, and vision expenses anytime ― even in retirement.

We’ll jumpstart your savings with a contribution to your HSA!

Capital One will contribute to your HSA, too, to help you grow your money faster. Each year, you automatically receive up to $500 if you enroll in individual coverage or up to $1,000 if you cover any dependents. HSA contributions are made on a per-paycheck basis and you can use the funds as they are available. For 2024, you and Capital One can make combined annual HSA contributions up to $4,150 for individual coverage or $8,300 if you cover dependents. If you’ll be 55 or older in 2024, you can contribute an additional $1,000 in catch-up contributions to your HSA.

Important note: Capital One’s HSA contributions are prorated for mid-year enrollments. While enrolled in the plan, Capital One will contribute the following per pay period: $19.23 for individual coverage and $38.46 if you cover dependents.

 

Basic PPO & Enhanced PPO

The Basic PPO offers balance by allowing you to keep more of your paycheck, with lower contributions and a moderate deductible. Compared to the Enhanced PPO, you'll pay more with this plan when you need care because of the moderate deductible, coinsurance, and co-pays. You can see any provider you wish, but you will save money when you stay in network.

The Enhanced PPO offers predictability, with higher per paycheck contributions and a lower deductible. With this plan, you can see any provider you wish, but you will save money when you stay in network.

How the Basic PPO & Enhanced PPO plans work

You pay the plan’s contributions from your paycheck to have coverage.

icon 

Co-pay

You pay a small fee for in-network doctor visits and prescriptions. Co-pays do not count toward your deductible.

icon 

Deductible

For care that doesn’t charge a co-pay, such as hospital services, you pay 100% of the costs until you meet the annual deductible.

icon 

Coinsurance

After meeting the deductible, you and the plan share the cost of certain services, with the Basic PPO plan paying 70% in-network and you only pay 30%, and the Enhanced PPO plan paying 80% and you only pay 20%.

icon 

Out-of-Pocket Maximum

You’re protected by an annual limit on costs — the plan pays 100% of any further covered expenses for the rest of the year once you reach the maximum.

feature image
Save money with an FSA ― and get up to a $500 contribution from Capital One!

A Health Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA) lets you take advantage of tax-free savings when paying for health care. And, you even get FSA funding from Capital One. Capital One will contribute up to $500 to your Health Care FSA account when you elect to contribute a minimum of $500 to your Health Care FSA. That means free money for you to use to take care of yourself and your family!

Note: The maximum amount accounts for the contribution you’ll receive from Capital One without exceeding the $3,050 maximum allowed by the IRS. You have full access to your elected contribution amount on January 1 of the start of the plan year.

Company contributions to your FSA are prorated for late entrants.

Be sure to plan your FSA contributions carefully.

Based on IRS rules, FSAs are "use-it-or-lose-it" accounts. That means you'll lose any money left in your 2024 account after the claim deadline (April 30, 2025), so it's important to carefully estimate your contribution amount for the year. You may roll over up to $610 from your 2024 Health Care FSA if you re-elect the Health Care FSA in 2025. If you do not enroll in a Health Care FSA in 2025 or if you have a balance in excess of $610, those funds will be forfeited after the claim deadline.

 

Prescription Drugs

When you enroll in a Capital One medical plan, you automatically receive prescription drug benefits through CVS Caremark. Your CVS Caremark information can be found on your Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield ID card.

Drug tiers

The cost of your prescription drugs under each medical plan depends on the tier of the medication — generic/Tier 1 Brand, preferred brand, non-preferred brand, or specialty.

All prescription benefit managers have a formulary, which is a list of preferred drugs determined to be both effective and reasonable in cost. A group of practicing physicians and pharmacists routinely reviews drugs to include in the formulary. If clinical data shows several drugs are equally effective, the most cost-effective drug is usually chosen. The formulary may change from time to time. To see if medication you take is on the formulary, go to caremark.com.

icon 

Generic drugs

Contain the same active ingredients as brand-name equivalents and meet the same standards for quality and effectiveness, but usually cost much less.

icon 

Preferred drugs

Are brand-name medications included on the CVS Caremark formulary because they have been proven to be both effective and reasonable in cost.

icon 

Non-preferred drugs

Are brand-name medications not included on the CVS Caremark formulary. These drugs are also effective for treatment, but cost more.

icon 

Specialty drugs

Include medications used to treat certain conditions and are only filled only through CVS Caremark’s Specialty Pharmacy to ensure the highest quality and best discounts.

*Specialty medications must be purchased through the CVS Caremark Specialty Pharmacy and will not be covered if filled at a regular retail pharmacy.

**In states where Maintenance Choice is not available, an 84+ days retail prescription will be dispensed.

Note: Some prescriptions must meet defined criteria before they are covered by the plan. Additional controls may apply for certain high-cost medications and specialty medications. These controls include prior authorizations and requirements to try certain lower cost and/or lower side-effect risk profile medications first.

Options for filling your prescription

Your medication costs will also vary depending on how you fill your prescription, but you’ll pay less for prescriptions that are included on CVS Caremark’s preferred drug list. You can view CVS Caremark’s complete preferred drug list at caremark.com. Through your prescription drug coverage, you may fill prescriptions as follows:

  • At a participating retail pharmacy for short-term prescriptions. You’ll pay a set amount for a 30-day supply based on the drug tier of the prescription. Participating pharmacies include CVS, Giant, Walgreens, Walmart, other chains and many independent pharmacies. This option is generally best for medications you’ll need to take for 60 day or less (two fills). For those enrolled in Basic PPO and Enhanced PPO, you will pay a copay for these prescriptions. For those enrolled in CDHP, you will pay 20% of the prescription’s cost after you meet the plan deductible.
  • Through CVS Caremark’s mail-order pharmacy for long-term prescriptions. Using the Maintenance Choice program saves you money on 90-day supplies of your medication and provides the convenience of having maintenance medication mailed directly to your home or address of your choosing. Or, you can elect to have your maintenance medications filled in a 90-day supply at a CVS pharmacy*.
  • At the Tysons, Knolls, Plano, and West Creek Health Centers and Pharmacies. The Tysons, Knolls, Plano, and West Creek Health Centers offer a pharmacy for short-term medications (like antibiotics), 90-day supply for maintenance medications, and a limited selection of over-the-counter medications. See Pulse for more information.

*Certain states may have additional locations to fill 84+ day supply prescriptions.

Reminder about specialty medications

Associates who routinely take medications for certain conditions must use CVS Caremark’s Specialty Pharmacy program to receive coverage. Specialty drugs are available in a 30-day supply through CVS Specialty Pharmacy only. No part of the cost of these medications is covered if purchased from a retail pharmacy.

To search for in-network providers, log in to anthem.com/capitalone and select Care → Find Care. You can also call 1-844-390-4133 Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. ET to ask about in-network providers.

Don’t have a personal doctor? You should. Here’s why.

 

  • Better health. Getting the right health screenings each year can reduce your risk for many serious conditions. Preventive care is free, so there’s no excuse to skip it.
  • A healthier wallet. Having a doctor you can call helps you avoid costly trips to the emergency room and decide when you really need to see a specialist.
  • Peace of mind. Advice from someone you trust ... it means a lot when you’re healthy, but it’s even more important when you’re sick. Your personal doctor gets to know you and your health history and can help coordinate any care you need.
 

Money-Saving Tips

Being a good health care consumer can help you live well and save more. To do this, you need to take an active role in your health care, educating yourself about the options that best fit your needs, so that you can make informed decisions about all aspects of your well-being.

Get the most value from your medical benefits by following these tips for being a good health care consumer:

  1. Use in-network providers. Using in-network providers can save you money because they have agreed to charge a negotiated, discounted fee. If you use out-of-network providers, you may be charged more than your plan allows. If that happens, you’ll have to pay your coinsurance, as well as the difference between what your plan pays and what the provider charges. Anthem offers a broad network of providers, so before seeking care, make sure your provider is in-network.
  2. Keep up with preventive care. Be sure to get your recommended preventive health care, such as annual physicals, well-woman visits, and age-appropriate screenings. Preventive care helps you stay healthy and can detect any illnesses before you experience symptoms. When you see an in-network provider, there is no cost to you.
  3. Set aside tax-free dollars. If you are enrolled in a PPO or not enrolled in a Capital One medical plan, you are eligible to contribute to a Health Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA). This is easy and saves you money on medical expenses for you and your family. The money you and the company contribute to your Health Care FSA will be available on January 1, of the date you enroll, whichever is later. For CDHP enrollees, you can contribute to a Health Savings Account (HSA), then use your HSA to accumulate tax-free money you can spend on eligible medical, prescription, dental, and vision expenses anytime — even in retirement.
  4. Receive free money. Take advantage of the Capital One contribution to your Health Savings Account (HSA) when you enroll in the CDHP. Capital One will automatically contribute up to $500 if you enroll in individual coverage or up to $1,000 if you enroll in family coverage, to your HSA each year. You’ll receive Capital One’s contribution with each paycheck that you are enrolled ($19.23 for individuals, $38.46 for families). Capital One also provides funding to the Health Care FSA. You’ll receive up to $500 ($19.23 per paycheck) if you enroll in a Health Care FSA and make the minimum $500 contribution.

Health Care 101

Health care can be confusing — let’s start with the basics! Here’s a quick explanation of some common terms that will make it easier for you to understand your Capital One health care benefits.

Deductible

the amount you pay in health care expenses before the plan starts paying a portion of your costs

Coinsurance

after you meet the deductible, coinsurance begins – this is the percentage of the cost you pay, and the plan pays the rest

Co-pay (PPOs only)

the flat fee you pay for doctor’s office visits and prescriptions; co-pays do not count towards your deductible

In-network/Out-of-network

you can see any doctor you want, but you’ll pay less if you go to providers who have agreed to be in your plan’s network

Out-of-Pocket Maximum

the most you’ll have to pay for health care in a year; if you reach this amount, the plan pays 100% of in-network costs for the remainder of the calendar year

Contributions

what you pay from your paycheck to have coverage; often called “premiums”
