Your Medical Plan Choices
As a benefit-eligible employee, you may be covered by one of two medical plans: KingCareSM (administered by Aetna) and Group Health.
KingCareSM
Medical benefits under KingCareSM are administered by Aetna; prescription benefits under the plan are administered by Express Scripts, Inc.
The medical and prescription drug benefits of the KingCareSM plan are "self-funded" by King County. This means that the county is financially responsible for and pays all claims and other costs associated with KingCareSM.
Group Health
Medical and prescription benefits under the Group Health plan are administered by Group Health. Group Health is a health maintenance organization in the Pacific Northwest, with reciprocal agreements for out-of-area services with Kaiser Permanente.
