Personal Care Account

Every member who enrolls in the APWU Health Plan Consumer Driven Option receives a Personal Care Account. Each year, the Plan adds to your account:

$1,200 per year for Self Only enrollment
or
$2,400 per year for Self Plus One and Self and Family enrollment

Your PCA covers all eligible expenses at 100%. For example, if you are ill and go to a network doctor for a $60 visit, the doctor will submit your claim and the cost of the visit will be deducted automatically from your PCA. You pay nothing.

And the best news? In-network preventive care covered under CDHP Section 5 does not count against your PCA.

Example
Balance in PCA (Self Only) $1,200
Minus the cost of your visit - 60
Balance remaining in PCA $1,140

Notes
  • In-network preventive care covered under CDHP Section 5 does NOT count against your PCA.
  • See pages 82 and 83 of the 2019 Federal Brochure.
