About Plus

How Plus affects Expert Opinion: the benefit rides on your base plan’s virtual care. Because Gold has no virtual program, Gold + Plus still doesn’t include Expert Opinion. On Platinum + Plus, you keep expert second opinions and add major-medical coverage for emergencies, hospitalization, and surgery.

When It Helps

Risky treatment or surgery

A difficult or high-risk treatment plan or operation is on the table.

Unanswered questions

You still have important questions your current care hasn’t fully addressed.

Rare disease diagnosis

An uncommon condition where deep, specialized expertise makes a real difference.

Complex health issue

Multiple conditions or factors make the right path forward harder to see.
