A health care plan built for restaurants.

 

The restaurant business is rewarding but tough. Operators need a health care plan that works as hard as they do. That’s why RAMW has partnered with USI Insurance Services and Kaiser Permanente to develop a plan that is flexible, convenient, and affordable, to help operators with their bottom lines, and their employees with their access to the area’s top-quality care.1

Excellent care that keeps employees and businesses healthy

 

In Kaiser Permanente's integrated health system—the leading system in the region—the health plan, doctors, pharmacy, specialists, and medical facilities are all connected to each other, and to the member. So care teams know each member’s medical history, and they can work together to personalize the care and help achieve the best health results.

Preventive care — Preventive care is key to how medicine is practiced at Kaiser Permanente. It can help members avoid health issues and catch others before it becomes serious.

“Kaiser Permanente was able to save us 25%. They provide the same plan designs our employees were already familiar with, but now with the ease of having the physicians, labs, xrays, pharmacies and in some cases urgent care, all in one location—an important and improved feature over our prior carrier.”

Plan Details
HMO A traditional Kaiser Permanente HMO PLAN is not just health coverage — it's a partnership in health. Members receive preventive care services at little or no cost, and online features let you manage most of their care around the clock.
DHMO Like the traditional HMO plan, members have access to KP Signature Provider Network physicians at any one of 33 Kaiser Permanente facilities in Maryland, Virginia and DC. To keep premiums lower, some services are subject to a deductible, then copay or coinsurance. Certain services are covered before the deductible, at copay.
HMO Plus Can be combined with HMO or DHMO plans to provide the added flexibility of coverage for up to 10 outpatient physician visits out of network, including lab and radiology, and 5 pharmacy refills a year with providers outside the Kaiser Permanente care delivery system, anywhere in the U.S.
Added Choice A point-of-service (POS) product that combines an in-network HMO provider option and an out-of-network provider option in one plan. Members can move among the two provider options at any time, so they can always make the best decisions for their health and their wallets. Available as deductible and non-deductible options.
Consumer-Directed Health Care Deductible plans are paired with a health payment accounts—a Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA), Health Savings Account (HSA), or Flexible Savings Account (FSA). It's the fastest growing form of health care coverage in the U.S., giving employees tools to more actively control how their healthcare dollars are spent...and saved.
Flexible Choice Flexible Choice is like having three plans in one: a health maintenance organization (HMO), a preferred provider organization (PPO), and an out-of-plan option. Members have a choice of a personal doctor for routine HMO medical care, plus the freedom to choose from each of the three provider options each time you need care. There is no deductible to satisfy when care is within the HMO. When receiving care from a preferred provider or a nonparticipating provider there are copays or coinsurance for most covered services after meeting your deductible. An out-of-pocket maximum that limits how much members will spend on most covered services each year.
Virtual Forward This new plan from Kaiser Permanente offers a cost-effective product for those who prefer the convenience of accessing care virtually, without the need to leave home or work. It provides members unlimited virtual appointments with their Kaiser Permanente’s primary care physicians and specialists with a $0 copay. Members who select Virtual Forward can also see a physician in person. The product fully covers the first, in-person primary care visit with no charge as well as annual preventive visits and services.
