How to Choose the Right Health Plan
Before you enroll, use this checklist to confirm El Camino Health Medical Network is in network and your plan fits your needs.
Check if your doctors are in-network
- If you want to keep seeing your current doctors or specialists, make sure they’re covered by the plan’s network.
- Tip: Search for “El Camino Health Medical Network” in the plan’s provider directory.
Look at hospital access
- Make sure the hospitals you trust are included.
- For example, El Camino Health hospitals in Mountain View and Los Gatos.
Compare total costs, not just the monthly premium
- Review deductibles, copays, and out-of-pocket maximums.
- A lower monthly premium might mean higher costs when you need care.
Check for the services you use most
- Prescription drugs
- Mental health support
- Physical therapy, maternity care, or chronic condition programs
Think about the year ahead
- Are you planning surgery, starting a family, or managing ongoing conditions? Choose a plan that meets those needs.
Ask for help if you’re unsure
- Use your employer’s HR department, a trusted insurance broker, or the health plan’s customer service to compare options.
