Firms With 2 or More: Medical Plans
Why Choose CalCPA Health
CalCPA Health is a self-funded medical plan offered through the Group Insurance Trust of the California Society of CPAs. Because we operate our own plans, we design the benefits, rates and options. To provide outstanding service and value to our members, we have contracted with Anthem Blue Cross use its comprehensive provider network and to process our claims. In effect, we’ve chosen what we believe are the best doctors, hospitals and administrators to provide you with valuable benefits. It’s up to you whether you go in-network and receive a higher benefit or go out-of-network and pay more. However, when you choose participating network providers, you will take advantage of negotiated rates, which lowers out-of-pocket expenses.
When evaluating your plan choices please note that many insurance plans have begun to utilize narrow provider networks sometimes referred to as “skinny” networks. If you see a plan from another carrier that seems to have a lower than expected premium, as a first step, you should evaluate or verify the doctors and hospitals included in the provider network for your individual or firm’s needs.
The Trust is also offering a “Select” Anthem network for firms who seek a discount in return for a smaller network.
Group Medical: Co-Pay Plans
CalCPA Health offers PPO copay plan options. PPO plans allow you to see any physician or other eligible provider without a referral. However, if you use out-of-network providers, you should expect to pay a significantly greater portion of the eligible charges.

Group Medical: Anthem Blue Cross HMO
Because our members value choice, we have partnered with Anthem Blue Cross of California to offer HMO plans. Anthem differs from CalCPA Health in that it is a fully-insured plan through Anthem Blue Cross of California. Anthem Blue Cross determines the rates and benefits and sets underwriting and administration policy. Your firm may offer only one of the HMO plans; however, you can pair a Anthem Blue Cross HMO plan with any, or all, of the CalCPA Health copay and HSA plans.
All Anthem Blue Cross HMO Plans Provide:
- Access to quality healthcare through the Anthem Blue Cross network of Anthem Blue Cross HMO healthcare providers
- Coverage for mental health and substance abuse services
- Comprehensive coverage for a wide range of healthcare services
- Emergency care coverage worldwide, 24 hours a day
- Simplified procedures – no claim forms to fill out
- Customer services exclusively dedicated to CalCPA Health Anthem Blue Cross members
Group Medical: Choose Multiple Plans
You May Mix and Match Your Health Plans
Although most employers will elect to offer a single plan, your firm may elect to enroll in and offer any combination of CalCPA Health’s copay, HSA and Anthem Blue Cross HMO plans. However, if the firm wishes to include an HMO option, only one of the Anthem Blue Cross HMO plans may be offered.
Group Medical: HSA Eligible Plans
Why Choose a Health Savings Account (HSA)
CalCPA Health’s HSA plans are self-funded High Deductible Healthcare Policies (HDHPs) offered through the Group Insurance Trust of the California Society of CPAs. Our HSA plans, when paired with a Health Savings Account offered through a bank, brokerage or other financial institution, provides security against catastrophic medical expenses, while allowing you to set aside pre-tax dollars to pay for qualified medical expenses.
Fully integrated HSA plan
If your firm currently has employees enrolled in the CalCPA Health HSA plan, CalCPA Health offers these members a unique – fully integrated HSA that offers low High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) premiums, combined with integrated banking and health claims administration.
