Step 1: Compare the medical plans available to you – Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS), Surest, UnitedHealthcare Choice Plus (UHC) and High Deductible + HSA. Estimate what your out-of-pocket costs may be with each plan.

Health Plan	Plan Highlights
BCBS, Surest & UHC	In-network benefits are available with the Surest plan, national BCBS BlueCard plan, BCBS Select Network plans in designated locations and the UHC Choice Plus plan. Out-of-network benefits are also available but are more expensive since there are no negotiated provider discounts and the out-of-network deductible and out-of-pocket maximum are higher.
UHC High Deductible + HSA	There is no difference in benefits if you use an in-network or out-of-network provider. However, when you receive care from in-network providers, your plan costs are typically lower because UHC has negotiated discounts with in-network providers. NOTE: Fertility and Infertility Medications and Services are not covered under the High Deductible + HSA Plan

Health Plan	Instructions	Referrals Required
Surest	Surest uses the UnitedHealthcare Choice Plus Network. Visit join.surest.com/travelers (access code TRV2025) to search for providers. Click “Search Coverage” on the top navigation.	Enrollees do not have to select a primary care physician and referrals are not required to see a specialist.
BCBS	Use the BCBS provider directory. Click “Find Care” in the top navigation.
UHC	Use the UHC provider directory. Click “Search for a Provider” from the center navigation.
UHC High Deductible + HSA Plan	UHC High Deductible + HSA Plan enrollees have a passive network arrangement. There is no difference in benefits if you use an in-network or out-of-network provider.

Click “Search for a Provider” from the center navigation.

Step 3: Compare the medical plan premiums.

You share the cost of your medical coverage with Travelers. Your share of the premium is based on:

• The medical plan that you choose
• The coverage level you select
• Your annual base salary (or full-time equivalent salary if you are part-time)
• Your smoker status and your spouse or domestic partner's smoker status if you elect coverage for them
• Your spouse or domestic partner's eligibility for subsidized medical coverage through their employer

You pay for your share of the premium with pretax dollars from your salary.

You can use the Rate Calculator to estimate your premiums.

Step 4: Decide which medical plan is best for you.

After you've compared the plan benefits, network and medical plan premiums you may be ready to enroll.

Note: If you have questions regarding your medical plan options or benefits, please contact the Employee Services Unit (ESU) at 4-ESU@travelers.com or 800-441-4378.

Step 5: Consider making contributions to a Health Care Spending Account.

Participants who elect to enroll in the UHC High Deductible + HSA Plan are not eligible to participate in a Health Care Spending Account (HCSA).
