Health Insurance
What is the Health Insurance?
How to Shop for Health Insurance
The health insurance is through Independence Blue Cross (aka Keystone Health Plan East). There are 3 plan options, the HMO Silver Proactive, HMO Gold Proactive, and PPO Silver Secure. The PPO Silver Secure plan is national and will work anywhere. The "Proactive" plans are for companies based in and around Philadelphia.
The "Proactive" plans are for companies based in or around Philadelphia. All the local Philadelphia Blue Cross doctors & hospitals are in-network, but they are divided into tiers with some providers charging more based on their tier. Tier 2 & 3 providers are more expensive than Tier 1 providers. This is especially important for high cost items like hospitalization & outpatient surgery.
The PPO Silver Secure plan will work anywhere and has a very large national network. You also do not need referrals to see specialists. Most services do NOT have a deductible and merely have a copay. Some rarer higher cost procedures are subject to a deductible and a copay.

Dental Benefits
We participate in the US Federation of Worker Cooperatives aggregated Dental Plan through Delta Dental.
Our Dental Insurance is fantastic! There is virtually no network because if you see an out of network provider, the dental plan will reimburse the out of network visit at in-network benefit copays / coinsurance! Only in very rare situations would that not be the case (VERY RARE).

AblePay Reduces your Medical Costs! AblePay pre-purchases your medical debt/expenses from healthcare providers in exchange for a discount. Have you ever transfered money from Venmo or PayPal or a bank and there is an “instant transfer” option but at a cost of 1% or a few bucks? It’s like that, but with healthcare. AblePay pre-pays your medical costs in exchange for a discount, which they share with you! If you don’t pay the medical bill, AblePay owns your the debt liability…not the healthcare provider. That’s how they can pass along a discount to you!
From the AblePay website:
AblePay is a unique and innovative program that addresses what many of us are dealing with; how to diffuse the rising costs of deductibles and coinsurance. AblePay is a healthcare consumer company that assists our members by providing discounts, flexible and convenient payment options, and the necessary support if you ever have a question or an issue. The goal is to make navigating the healthcare system as painless as possible.
By assisting our provider partners in reducing expenses and receivable times, we have negotiated a discounted rate in exchange for guaranteed payment immediately after the insurance process is completed. This allows us to pass a portion of these savings, up to 13%, along to our members.
