Today’s workforce looks very different than it did even 10 years ago. Your employees may include recent college graduates managing student loan debt, parents balancing family health care needs, and employees thinking ahead toward retirement all working side by side. That means employee expectations around benefits have changed, too.
Different generations often prioritize different things when it comes to health coverage, provider access, monthly costs, and overall flexibility. That’s one of the reasons so many employers continue to choose CaliforniaChoice. The program gives your employees more choice while helping your business maintain greater control over costs and administration.
One health benefits program that supports every employee
No two employees use health care the same way. Some employees want the predictability of an HMO. Others want PPO flexibility. Some need lower monthly premiums, while others want broader provider access or HSA-compatible options. CaliforniaChoice helps support those different needs through one simplified program.
As an employer, you can:
- Set a fixed contribution amount or percentage
- Maintain greater budget predictability
- Adjust your contribution at renewal if needed
From there, employees can choose the coverage that best fits their needs and budget. That flexibility helps eliminate the “one-size-fits-all” approach many employees find frustrating.
Employees continue getting access to more choice
Through CaliforniaChoice, your employees can choose from 100+ plan options across seven health plans, including:
- Anthem Blue Cross
- Health Net
- Kaiser Permanente
- Sharp Health Plan
- Sutter Health Plan
- UnitedHealthcare
- Western Health Advantage
That means employees can also continue selecting:
- HMO, PPO, or HSA-compatible plans
- Different provider networks
- Coverage options that better align with their stage of life
For employers, that often translates to stronger employee satisfaction and stronger retention.
Better access to care matters more than ever
Employees today expect benefits to be flexible and accessible. CaliforniaChoice meets that expectation by offering access to broad provider networks, virtual care options, mental health coverage, and multiple plan designs. That flexibility matters across every generation:
- Younger employees focused on affordability and virtual care access
- Families looking for specific provider networks and pediatric care
- Older employees who value specialist access and predictable coverage
Giving employees the ability to choose what works best for them helps create a better overall benefits experience.
Your program also includes valuable additional benefits
Many employers forget how many additional resources are available through CaliforniaChoice. Beyond Medical coverage, it includes:
- Dental coverage
- Vision benefits
- Chiropractic and Acupuncture coverage
- Life Insurance and AD&D coverage
These additional options make it easier to build a more complete benefits package without adding unnecessary complexity.
Value-added perks included with your CaliforniaChoice program
Your employees also have access to additional value-added programs through the Business Solution Suite and Member Value Suite:
- Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs)
- Premium Only Plan (POP) set-up
- Prescription savings through the California Rx Card
- Fitness discounts and wellness savings
- Travel, entertainment, and event discounts
- Pet insurance savings through MetLife and Spot
A more flexible way to support your workforce
Supporting a multi-generational workforce isn’t about finding one plan everyone can tolerate. It’s about giving employees more flexibility, more choice, and better access to the coverage that fits their lives. It’s about meeting them where they’re at. CaliforniaChoice fits the bill.
