Primary Plan: ECP
The Enhanced Care PPO (ECP) plan is the primary plan for non-Medicare Trust members. This nationwide health plan provides unlimited primary care physician (PCP) and specialist physician office visits at a flat dollar copay, as well as other helpful programs. Offered through Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS), the ECP plan offers more benefits than other plan options while providing access to a national network of PPO doctors and hospitals.
In addition, this plan features personalized, convenient resources to help you navigate the health care system. You have access to a personal, dedicated health guide who can help you find hospitals and doctors, answer questions about what’s covered under the plan, assist with provider billing questions, as well as connect you to a supporting team of clinical staff, care managers, and specialized programs.

Cost Share
Before reviewing more details on your available plan options, it’s important to understand all Trust provided plans have copay and cost share elements. As a member of the Trust, you are responsible for paying certain health care coverage costs including a monthly contribution, annual deductible, coinsurance, copayment and annual out-of-pocket maximum. Understanding how these work will help you know when they apply and how much you will have to pay for care.
Copay elements are fixed dollar amounts for services such as Primary Care Physician (PCP) office visits, specialist visits, urgent care visits and emergency room visits. Cost share elements can include deductibles, coinsurance and out-of-pocket maximums. Want more detail on what these terms mean? Visit the Health Care Glossary.
