Duke Select, Duke Basic, Blue Care
Duke offers three HMOs:
- Duke Select
- Duke Basic
- Blue Care
In these HMOs, you may, but are not required to, select a primary care physician (PCP) from a plan's list of network providers. You will pay a flat charge
- or co-pay - each time you visit a network provider. Routine, preventive services such as annual physicals, ob/gyn exams, immunizations, and well baby visits are covered under these plans.
Unlike traditional HMOs, with Duke Select, Duke Basic, and Blue Care, you do not need a referral from your PCP to see a network specialist.
Please note: Duke Select and Duke Basic use a custom network that is unique to Duke. These two plans are only offered in ZIP codes beginning with the following three numbers
- 272, 273, 275, 276, and 277. To participate in Blue Care, you must reside in North Carolina.
Reimbursement Account for Duke Basic Members
All Duke Basic members will receive an annual contribution
to a Health Care Reimbursement account based on the level
of coverage selected:
- $200 for Individual
- $300 for Employee/Child
- $400 for Employee/Children
- $400 for Employee/Spouse or Employee/Same-Sex Partner
- $600 for Family (includes Spouse)
Please Note: Additional contributions will not be made if dependents are added during
the plan year.
