HIP Prime HMO

Your employer has chosen our HIP Prime® HMO High Option plan as one of the health benefit options available for federal employees and retirees. You can get quality care in-network with a $0 copay on routine physical exams, one (1) per calendar year, well-child care, and more. You’ll also have low copays on many other services, including office visits to your doctor and specialist care — all of which can add up to big savings.

Your primary care doctor: a partner for good health

The first thing you should do when you subscribe to HIP Prime HMO is choose a primary care doctor (PCP) for yourself and your enrolled family members. When you call to make an appointment, be sure to let your doctor know that you’re a HIP plan member. Remember to bring your ID card to your appointment. It confirms that you’re eligible. You can change your PCP at any time, by phone or online.
