Consumer Driven Option at a glance

The Consumer Driven Option is the APWU Health Plan solution for affordable yet comprehensive care. Our members are the primary decision-makers in the healthcare they receive and pay for. You have greater control in how you use your healthcare benefits.

When used properly, this different model of health care can save money. With UnitedHealthcare’s expansive national network, this option provides low premiums and a proactive alternative to traditional health plans.
