Lucas County offers three medical plan options for eligible employees and their eligible dependents for the 2021/2022 program year: Paramount Patient Centered Medical Home Plan (PCMH), a 90/10 plan with a $10 PCP office visit co-pay and a $15 specialist office visit co-pay. Employees in the PCMH plan must meet the requirements outlined above.  Paramount Health Care (PHC), a 75/25 HMO plan with a $10 PCP office visit co-pay and a $15 specialist office visit co-pay; and the Lucas County Health Plan through the Frontpath Network, a 70/30 plan with a $10 PCP office visit co-pay and a $15 specialist office visit co-pay.  The benefit levels through each of these three plans are not the same. Please refer to the Lucas County Plan Documents for more details and the brief benefits comparison chart for comparative information on benefit levels.

Employees who are enrolled in any one of the medical plans will have a payroll deduction of $25.00 per single contract per month and $50.00 per family contract per month.  The payroll deductions will be taken pre-tax.  This means the actual amount taken out of your paycheck will be $11.54 per pay for a single plan and $23.08 per pay for a family plan.
