Three-tier provider & facility network
The three medical plan options offered by OhioHealth and administered by OhioHealthy now have a three-tier provider and facility network structure (Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3). Depending on what provider and/or facility you use, your out-of-pocket costs may be different. You’ll save the most money when using Tier 1 providers and facilities.

Working spouse surcharge
There is a premium surcharge of $70 per pay period for spouses who are working and eligible for medical coverage through a different employer. This surcharge is in addition to the premium cost for whatever plan you elect that includes a spouse: associate + spouse and family plans. This surcharge encourages those participants eligible for other group health insurance through their employer to take advantage of that coverage. Like many other employers, the working spouse premium surcharge is one way to manage ongoing healthcare costs, now and into the future.
Do you and your spouse both work for OhioHealth? If you and your spouse work for OhioHealth, then the surcharge does not apply. The surcharge is only applicable if your spouse has medical coverage options through an employer other than OhioHealth.
