How Minimum Value works

 

Minimum Value is a standard that was created under the Affordable Care Act to ensure that employees receive health care coverage through their employer. These plans meet the minimum value requirement of at least 60% actuarial value as determined by the CMS Minimum Value Calculator.

 

How plans with PCP Focus work

 

PCP Focus lowers costs by offering maximum-quality HMO-managed care to members who choose a doctor from the PCP Focus network. This local, custom network offers all the provider access your employees need to improve their health. Additionally, when paired with a BCN HMO plan, the PCP Focus network provides employers — located in an eligible Michigan county and with fewer than 300 BCN-enrolled contracts — typically up to 10% premium savings versus the standalone plan.

 

New for 2026: We’ve expanded the PCP Focus network by 55% into 11 additional counties to give more employers and their employees more ways to save.

 

Allegan, Bay, Benzie, Berrien, Calhoun, Cass, Clinton, Eaton, Genesee, Grand Traverse, Ingham, Jackson, Kalamazoo, Kent, Lapeer, Leelanau, Lenawee, Livingston, Macomb, Manistee, Monroe, Muskegon, Oakland, Ottawa, Saginaw, Shiawassee, St. Clair, Van Buren, Washtenaw, Wayne, Wexford.
