Follow State employee Bob as he learns about the State's Anchor medical plans, chooses what's best for him and his family, and utilizes his plan over the year. 

Note: This video refers to electing a Primary Care Physician (PCP) to coordinate care. While it’s always a good idea to establish a relationship with a PCP, beginning in 2025, employees (except RIBCO, RITA, non-Union State Police, non-Classified union and non-union education and college employees) who are enrolled in the Anchor plans are no longer required to designate a PCP to coordinate their care.

See how the Anchor Choice Plan with HSA can be a good option for people under different circumstances, and how an HSA can help you save on health expenditures both now and for the future.

Learn about your Anchor plan options for dental and vision coverage, including how the "buy-up" plans work.

Learn about which benefit plans require beneficiary designations, how to review your current beneficiary assignments, and how to update them.
