Medical Insurance

For 2016 Ag-Pro Texas will offer a new medical plan underwritten by United Healthcare called UnitedHealthcare Navigate. UnitedHealthcare Navigate plans offer comprehensive patient-centered health care benefits. Members will choose a primary care physician (PCP) as their trusted partner in health care who also grants referrals for specialists’ needs.

The plan offers network coverage for members who obtain a referral from their primary care physician prior to seeing another physician or specialist in the network. No coverage is provided without a referral, except for visits to an OB/GYN, convenience care clinic, behavioral health/substance abuse disorder clinicians or urgent care center. Non-network coverage is not available, except in the event of an emergency.

While enrolling online for benefits, you will select your primary care physician from the Navigate network. Primary care physicians can be general practitioners, family practitioners, internists or pediatricians. Each family member can choose a different PCP. You may change your PCP at any time of the year by contacting United Healthcare. All heath plan ID cards will have your PCP listed on the card.

Instructions for locating a PCP in your area are included in your packet and posted on the www.myagprotexasbenefits.com website. Please refer to these instructions while completing your enrollment online.

The following page outlines the benefits for your 2016 medical plan. A more detailed benefit summary is included in the Open Enrollment packet for your convenience.

The Premium Pre-Tax Plan gives you the opportunity to reduce your taxable income by using before-tax dollars to pay for certain expenses. This saves you money by reducing you taxes.

Premium Pre-Tax PlanAny premium dollars that you have payroll deducted for your Medical, Dental, Vision or Supplemental plans may be “pre-taxed” on your check. This means that the payroll deduction for these benefits avoid Federal and State taxes. Therefore most people will save 21% to 37% in taxes on their insurance premiums.

If you participate in the Premium Pre-tax plan you will be unable to change your insurance plan elections until next year’s Open Enrollment unless you have a qualifying event change as a change in family status.

There is no cost for this plan.

Life and Disability plans are not eligible for the Premium Pre-Tax plan.
