Overview

Robert Half’s benefits are designed to support your physical, mental and financial well-being. You’ve told us you want variety and flexibility in our offerings, and you need us to continue to manage costs wherever we can. We hear you. We remain committed to continuously improving our benefits to serve our diverse employee population.

Robert Half offers a variety of competitively designed medical plan options and provider networks through the Empyrean Benefits Enrollment platform​. You can choose the plan design and network combination that makes the most sense for you and your family.

The medical plan information on this site provides an overview only — refer to your benefits guide for more detailed information: Robert Half and Protiviti Benefits Guide or Full-Time Engagement Professionals Benefits Guide.

Enrollment Tip

When choosing a medical plan, it’s important to think about the whole cost of coverage — the amount you’ll spend out of your paycheck, as well as out of your pocket (copays, deductibles, and coinsurance). Use the Empyrean Benefits Enrollment platform​ medical plan comparison tool to help you make the right choice for you and your family. You can compare your health plan choices in addition to estimating your cost for each plan. The cost comparisons will factor in the deductible amount, expected services and contribution amounts. You can also call Health Advocate at 1.866.695.8622 to get personalized help making benefit choice decisions.

Choosing Your Medical Plan Carrier

For each of the medical plan options, you can choose one of the following three carriers. See the “which medical plan to choose” video in the virtual benefits assistant for more information and tips.

Enrollment Tip

If you choose one of the medical plan options that is compatible with a Health Savings Account (HSA), you can contribute to your HSA on a pre-tax basis to help pay for out-of-pocket expenses, including the annual deductible.

 

$400 and $900 Deductible Plans

Available to Robert Half and Protiviti employees and Full-Time Engagement Professionals — refer to your benefits guide for the plans available to you.

The $400 Deductible Plan and $900 Deductible Plan include the following features:

  • Free in-network preventive medical care. Preventive care is covered fully with no deductible and no copay or coinsurance, as long as you receive this care from in-network providers.
  • Annual deductible. You pay for your initial costs out of pocket (for most services) until you meet your annual deductible:
    • $400 Deductible Plan: The annual deductible doesn’t apply to office visits and prescription drugs. Instead, you pay a flat-dollar copay, and the plan covers the rest of the eligible expense. The annual deductible applies to all other services, including hospitalization and the emergency room.
    • $900 Deductible Plan: The annual deductible applies to services including office visits, hospitalization and emergency room services. The annual deductible doesn’t apply to prescription drugs.

    Note: If more than one family member is covered, the plans begin to pay benefits for an individual family member when he or she reaches the individual deductible amount or when the combined expenses of all family members reach the family deductible amount, whichever happens first.

  • Coinsurance. Once the deductible is met, you and the plan will each pay a designated percentage of the cost for care, which is called coinsurance.
  • Out-of-pocket maximum. The plan protects you financially by limiting the total amount you will pay each year for medical care. Once you meet your out-of-pocket maximum, the plan pays 100 percent of your eligible expenses for the remainder of the year, as long as you use network providers. (For out-of-network providers, the plan will pay 100 percent of the “usual and customary” charge. You’re responsible for any amount in excess of the usual and customary charge.)
 

$1,600 and $2,500 Deductible Plans (HSA Compatible)

Available to Robert Half and Protiviti employees and Full-Time Engagement Professionals — refer to your benefits guide for the plans available to you.

The $1,600 Deductible Plan and $2,500 Deductible Plan help you take charge of your health and financial savings. In addition to providing benefits, these plans are compatible with a Health Savings Account (HSA), which lets you save pre-tax dollars to pay your current and future medical and prescription drug expenses — including your deductible.

The plan benefits include:

  • Free in-network preventive medical care. Preventive care is 100 percent covered with no deductible and no coinsurance, as long as you receive this care from in-network providers.
  • Annual deductible. You pay for your initial costs for medical and prescription services until you satisfy your annual deductible. The annual deductible applies to all non-preventive services, including office visits, hospitalization, emergency room services and prescription drugs.
  • Note: When more than one family member is covered, the plans begin to pay benefits for an individual only when the family annual deductible amount is reached.

  • Coinsurance. Once the deductible is met, you and the plan will each pay a designated percentage of the cost for care, which is called coinsurance.
  • Out-of-pocket maximum. The plan protects you financially by limiting the total amount you will pay each year for medical care. Once you meet your out-of-pocket maximum, the plan pays 100 percent of your eligible expenses for the remainder of the year, as long as you use network providers. (For out-of-network providers, the plan will pay 100 percent of the “usual and customary” charge. You’re responsible for any amount in excess of the usual and customary charge.)
  • Note: The plan begins to pay 100 percent of covered in-network care only after the family annual out-of-pocket amount is reached.

For California Participants Enrolled in a Kaiser Plan

If you live in California and enroll in family coverage in Kaiser’s $1,600 Deductible or $2,500 Deductible Plan, the amount that an individual within a family will pay for the calendar-year deductible and out-of-pocket maximum will be limited to $3,200.

How the HSA and Your Medical Plan Work Together

Think of the $1,600 Deductible Plan and $2,500 Deductible Plan like a house. Each level builds on the other to create a comprehensive medical plan. Preventive care is the foundation, the deductible and coinsurance are the first and second floors, and the out-of-pocket maximum is the roof. Here’s how they all work together:

Kaiser Hawaii Gold Be Fit

Available to Robert Half and Protiviti employees, and Full-Time Engagement Professionals — refer to your benefits guide for the plans available to you.

With Kaiser Hawaii Gold Be Fit, an HMO through Kaiser, you must use network providers for your care. The plan does not provide benefits for care received from out-of-network providers, except in an emergency. HMO plan participants also need to designate a primary care physician (PCP). Specialist referrals must be coordinated through your PCP.

Robert Half offers two medical plans to eligible temporary professionals in Hawaii. Both medical plans meet the requirements of the Hawaii Prepaid Health Act.

If you want to waive medical coverage, either as a newly eligible employee or during Open Enrollment, you must:

1 All copays shown are based on eligible charges. An eligible charge is the amount HMSA’s participating providers have agreed to accept as payment in full for services rendered. All services received from a non-participating provider will likely result in significantly higher out-of-pocket expenses, since the member is responsible for any difference between HMSA’s eligible charge and the non-participating provider’s actual charge. Please note: Eligible charges don’t include the excise tax or other taxes. You’re responsible for all taxes related to your medical coverage.

2 When a prescribed brand-name drug has a generic equivalent that is listed on the Hawaii Drug Formulary of Equivalent Drug Products, you’ll be responsible for the appropriate copayment, plus the difference in cost between the generic and brand-name drugs. This applies regardless of whether you chose not to use the generic drug or whether it wasn’t available at your pharmacy.

Smart90 (for maintenance medication at local pharmacy)

Available to employees enrolled in Cigna and Anthem plans.

The Smart90 program helps you save money and stay on track when refilling maintenance medication. This option will be available in addition to the mail-order program and will make filling maintenance medications easier and more convenient. It also makes filling prescriptions at a retail pharmacy less expensive. Instead of paying for three 30-day supplies of medication, you can pay for a 90-day supply, which costs less.

Here’s how it works:

  • You can receive a 90-day supply of your maintenance medication(s) at a participating Walgreens or CVS/Target Pharmacy. To find a participating Smart90 pharmacy, go to Express Scripts (you need to log in).
  • After two refills, if you purchase your maintenance medication(s) at a retail pharmacy other than a participating Smart90 pharmacy or the mail order program, you’ll pay 100% of the cost of your medication(s). To estimate a drug’s cost, use the Price a Medicine tool at Express Scripts (you need to log in).
RationalMed

Available to employees enrolled in Anthem or Cigna plans

Your safety, and your family’s safety, is top of mind for Robert Half. That’s why Robert Half offers an integrated data engine called RationalMed through Express Scripts. This data engine can identify adverse drug risks, support coordination of care and omission of essential care, and send safety interventions and alerts to providers. This intervention is expected to help you and your family members prevent additional health and/or risk of death.

SafeGuardRx

Available at no cost to employees enrolled in Anthem or Cigna plans

SafeGuardRx provides remote Bluetooth-enabled glucose monitors and inhaler devices to support prescription adherence and health engagement for eligible, high-risk diabetic and pulmonary care patients.
