Health Care Plans
Medical, Prescription & Vision Insurance
The County offers two low-cost plans that include prescription and vision coverage.
United Healthcare Choice is an in-network-only plan with a zero deductible and $10 copays for physician, specialist, or urgent care visits. Emergency room visits have a $50 copay that is waived if admitted.
United Healthcare Choice Plus is an in-network and out-of-network plan. In-network has a zero deductible and $15 copays for physician, specialist, or urgent care visits. Emergency room visits have a $50 copay that is waived if admitted. Out-of-network services require you to pay a deductible of $200 individual/$400 family and then a 20% coinsurance with an out-of-pocket maximum of $1700 individual/$3400 family.
Neither plan requires referrals nor requires members to choose a primary care provider.
Prescription copays for a 30-day supply at a retail pharmacy are:
$10.00 Tier 1 drugs $20.00 Tier 2 drugs $30.00 Tier 3 drugs
There is also a mail-order option where a 90-day supply can be received for one copay.
UnitedHealthcare creates and publishes the Machine-Readable Files on behalf of Carroll County Government.
United Health Care Transparency in Coverage
Vision coverage is included for all employees and dependents enrolled in the medical/prescription plan.
Coverage provided through VSP (Vision Service Plan) allows for a yearly well-vision exam for a $10 copay. Annually, covered individuals may also receive eyeglasses with lenses for a $10 copay or choose a $130 credit toward contacts instead.
Dental Insurance
The County currently offers a Delta Dental PPO plan. Covered individuals receive two exams, cleanings, and x-rays per year at no cost when using a Delta Dental PPO or Premier provider. For additional services, there is a $50 deductible per person ($150 for the family), then most services are covered at 80% with more involved procedures covered at 50%. The yearly maximum benefit per calendar year is $1,500 per person. If a Delta PPO or Premier dentist is used, the diagnostic & preventive services (exams, cleanings, xrays) do not count against your $1500 maximum benefit.
Employee Wellness Program
Carroll County Government provides well-being programs and resources to encourage employees to lead healthier lifestyles. Our annual Wellness Expo offers employees the opportunity to interact with various vendors that promote emotional, financial, intellectual, physical, and social well-being.
