As we juggle family and work, and keeping those we love safe, there is one thing we know for certain: Our health has never been more important. That’s why having a health care team you depend on means everything. Intel’s Connected Care California High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) is designed to improve your personal healthcare experience while focusing on prevention and proactive management of existing conditions.

• Lower cost, high value
  Members enjoy lower deductibles, co-insurance percentages, and out-of-pocket maximums compared to other plans. In addition, only Connected Care members enjoy 100% coverage on preventive care and certain preventive medications. See a list of covered medications here.
  
  
• Quality providers, both local and national
  Quality, accessible care is available through an extensive network of over 650 local healthcare providers. In addition, nationwide coverage for routine and emergency care is available when traveling, or for dependents living elsewhere. Find a Provider on the Connected Care website here.
  
  
• Coordinated care, focused on you
  With a patient-centered medical home approach, your care team is led by your primary care physician who collaborates with any specialty care providers, and uses various means of technology to support your care. They get to know you and strive for continuity of care. This approach is beneficial whether you’re managing a chronic condition or you’re healthy and simply aiming to stay well.
  
  
• Concierge, at your service
  The Connected Care California Concierge is a one-stop resource to help you find a doctor who’s right for you and your family, answer questions about benefits and claims, verify eligibility, process ID card requests, and more.
