Consider this plan if
You want a plan that allows employees to choose their level of coverage based on where they get care. Close-to-home care through the Altru Health System and a Preferred network of providers offers the lowest out-of-pocket costs. A broad range of other care options are available, too, at a higher cost.

Plan features
The tiered-network plan is available in 11 counties served by Altru Health System and a Preferred network of providers. The provider network is split into four tiers, depending on where you get care.
Tiered networks are designed to help employees make informed decisions about where they get care. With this approach, out-of-pocket costs are determined by which network a provider is in:
- Preferred Network: Altru Health System and a Preferred network of providers.
- Enhanced Network: North Dakota providers who accept BCBS network coverage.
- Standard Network: Any providers who accept BCBS network coverage.
- Non-Participating Provider: All other providers without BCBS service agreements.
NOTE: Occasionally, Preferred Network providers refer patients to doctors in the Enhanced or Standard network. Those services may be covered if the referral is approved and the provider accepts BCBS insurance plans.
