Your cost for medical coverage
Our medical plan options have lower-than-market average employee paycheck contributions, deductibles, and coinsurance. In addition, Fanatics uses a salary band approach to ensure our benefits stay cost effective.
Salary bands allow us to pass on additional savings to our employees who have an annual salary1 of $50,000 or less. Employees who have an annual salary1 of more than $50,000 will receive the normal annual cost adjustments. You will see your costs when enrolling through UltiPro.
1 Annual salary is the amount effective in UltiPro on May 1 of each year.
2023–2024 medical plans

*With the HDHP | Option 3, the family deductible is an aggregate, or “true family,” deductible. This means that coinsurance for any person covered under a family plan begins only after the entire family deductible has been met.
**With the HDHP | Option 3, family coverage has an embedded out-of-pocket maximum that applies to individuals covered on the plan. This means the plan begins to pay 100% for any covered family member when that person meets an individual out-of-pocket maximum of $6,650 in-network. The plan will pay 100% for all covered family members once the family out-of-pocket maximum ($10,000 in-network/$20,000 out-of-network) has been met, even if certain family members have not met their embedded individual out-of-pocket maximum.
***Kaiser has an embedded deductible and out-of-pocket maximum for family coverage. That means that no single individual on a family plan will have to pay a deductible or OOP max higher than the individual deductible amount.
Coverage for bariatric surgery, fertility treatment, and gender affirmation treatment
Coverage for bariatric surgery, fertility treatment, and gender affirmation treatment is accessible to employees through their Fanatics medical and pharmacy coverage, rather than through a reimbursement program. This approach allows access to high quality care, as well as clinical treatment and guidance to support your medically necessary needs at a negotiated rate while improving your overall well-being.
If you incurred eligible expenses for bariatric surgery, fertility treatment, or gender affirmation treatment before July 1, 2023, you have until June 30, 2024 to request reimbursement through the prior reimbursement programs. Use the applicable documents on the Resources page to submit your reimbursement request.
The PPO 500 | Option 1 plan offers lower out-of-pocket costs in exchange for higher paycheck contributions. With this plan, your costs are more predictable, but you’ll likely still have some out-of-pocket expenses.
You can choose any in-network or out-of-network provider each time you receive care. But keep in mind: You will generally receive higher benefits when you use in-network providers.
If you are newly enrolling in this plan, you will receive an ID card in the mail shortly after enrolling. You can also print your ID card information from the BCBS website or download the My Health Toolkit® mobile app to view a digital ID card.
How the PPO 500 | Option 1 plan works
Copay
You pay a small fee at the time of service for in-network doctor visits and prescriptions. (The deductible does not apply.)
Deductible
For some care, such as hospital services, you pay 100% of the costs until you meet the annual deductible.
Cost Sharing
After meeting the deductible, you pay either a copay or coinsurance (a percentage of the cost), and the plan pays the rest.
Out-of-Pocket Maximum
You’re protected by an annual limit on costs — the plan pays 100% of any further covered expenses for the rest of the year.
Money-saving Tip
A Health Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA) lets you take advantage of tax-free savings when paying for care. But, be sure to plan your FSA contributions carefully! Based on the IRS “use it or lose it” policy, you can only roll over up to $610 of unused money in your FSA to the next year; you will forfeit any amount above $610 that remains in your FSA at the end of the plan year.

The PPO 1500 | Option 2 plan offers slightly higher out-of-pocket costs compared to the PPO 500 | Option 1 plan, in exchange for slightly lower paycheck contributions. With the PPO 1500 | Option 2 plan, your costs are somewhat predictable, but you’ll likely have out-of-pocket expenses.
You can choose any in-network or out-of-network provider each time you receive care. But keep in mind: You will generally receive higher benefits when you use in-network providers.

Coinsurance
After meeting the deductible, you and the plan share the cost of certain services, with the plan paying the majority.

You’re protected by an annual limit on costs — the plan pays 100% of any further covered expenses for the rest of the year.

The HDHP | Option 3 pairs low-payroll deduction, high-deductible medical coverage with a tax-free Health Savings Account (HSA)
With this plan, you can choose any in-network or out-of-network provider each time you receive care. But keep in mind: You will generally receive higher benefits when you use in-network providers.
If you are newly enrolling in this plan, you will receive an ID card in the mail shortly after enrolling. You can also print your ID card information from the BCBS website or download the My Health Toolkit® mobile app to view a digital ID card.
How the HDHP | Option 3 works
You pay the plan payroll deduction from your paycheck to have coverage.
Fund your HSA
You can contribute tax-free money to help cover your costs — now, or in the future. Fanatics contributes to your account, too! You'll receive $500 (single coverage tier) or $1,000 (non-single coverage tier) for the year.
Deductible
You pay 100% of your medical and pharmacy costs until you meet the annual deductible.
Coinsurance
After meeting the deductible, you and the plan share the cost of certain services, with the plan paying the majority.
Out-of-Pocket Maximum
You’re protected by an annual limit on costs — the plan pays 100% of any further covered expenses for the rest of the year.
Keep in mind: You pay nothing for in-network preventive care — it’s covered in full.
Money-saving Tip
Use your HSA to budget for deductibles and other out-of-pocket expenses while also saving money — your HSA contributions are tax-free!

Budgeting for your costs
With the HDHP | Option 3, you pay less in payroll deductions and assume more financial responsibility when you receive care. So, it’s important to plan ahead for your out-of-pocket expenses. Here are some ideas to consider:
- Think about your costs. Contribute at least enough to your HSA to cover your expected out-of-pocket costs, such as your annual deductible and coinsurance. Remember — because you’re keeping more of your paycheck by paying lower medical plan payroll deductions, you may have extra money available to put in your HSA.
- Plan ahead. You can only spend HSA money that’s actually been deposited into your account. If you don’t have money in your HSA when you need it, pay another way (credit card, check, or cash) and remember to reimburse yourself later so you take full advantage of your HSA’s tax savings.
- Look long term. You will never forfeit any money left in your HSA — it rolls over year after year. If you know about future expenses — or if you want to save for your health care costs in retirement — set aside a little extra each paycheck so your balance can grow over time.
The EPO | Option 4 plan provides in-network coverage only and helps you save money through the discounted rates charged by network providers.
If you are newly enrolling in this plan, you will receive an ID card in the mail shortly after enrolling. You can also print your ID card information from the BCBS website or download the My Health Toolkit® mobile app to view a digital ID card.

The Kaiser HMO plan is available to California, Virginia, Maryland, and Washington D.C. employees. It provides coverage only when you receive care from providers within the HMO network. Your primary care provider (PCP) will coordinate your care to help manage costs.
If you are newly enrolling in this plan, you will receive an ID card in the mail shortly after enrolling. You can also print your ID card information from the Kaiser website or download the Kaiser Permanente mobile app to view a digital ID card.

When you enroll in the PPO 500 | Option 1, PPO 1500 | Option 2, EPO | Option 4, or HDHP | Option 3 plan, you automatically receive pharmacy benefits through OptumRx. OptumRx has a wide variety of pharmacies in its network, including both national and locally run pharmacies. If you enroll in the Kaiser HMO plan, your pharmacy coverage will be provided through Kaiser.
Pharmacy coverage tiers
The cost of your prescription drugs depends on the tier of the medication:
- Tier 1 — Generic medications contain the same active ingredients as their brand-name equivalents and meet the same federal standards for safety, but typically cost significantly less.
- Tier 2 — Preferred brand-name prescription drugs are favored by a prescription plan based on effectiveness and cost.
- Tier 3 — Nonpreferred brand-name prescription drugs are not on a prescription plan's favored list (or formulary) based on effectiveness and cost. Nonpreferred drugs still may be covered, but may require prior authorization and cost more.
Mail order
For ongoing maintenance medication, you can take advantage of the convenience and cost savings of using the mail order program.
Why use mail order:
- Prescriptions are shipped to you for free — no waiting in line at the pharmacy.
- You save money with a reduced cost for a three-month supply.
- You can set up automatic refills.
Save money
The cost of prescription drugs is rising faster than many other health care services and supplies. But, there are ways for you to save on your cost of prescriptions.
- Ask your doctor about generic medications. Generic medications are generally just as effective as brand-name medications, yet the cost of generics is substantially lower, both for you and your plan. They typically cost between 30% and 75% less than brand-name drugs.
- Use your plan’s mail order feature. If you regularly take medication to treat a chronic condition — such as an allergy, heart disease, high blood pressure, or diabetes — the mail order prescription program is a convenient and money-saving option for you.

Transparency in Coverage Rules
The federal Transparency in Coverage Rules require certain group health plans to publicly disclose price and cost-sharing information. This information includes in-network provider rates as well as historical out-of-network allowed amounts and billed charges for covered items and services, which is to be shared via two separate machine-readable files (MRFs). The machine-readable files are formatted to allow researchers, regulators and application developers to more easily access and analyze data. The MRFs for Fanatics’ medical plan carriers can be found below:
