How much does MarketAxess medical coverage cost?
MarketAxess pays the majority of the cost of your medical coverage. You pay the remaining amount through pre-tax premiums from your paycheck.

HDHP with HSA
The High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) has lower paycheck premiums, a higher deductible, and a tax-free Health Savings Account (HSA) that helps you save money and plan ahead for future medical expenses. This combination gives you more control over your money and rewards you for making healthy, cost-conscious choices.
With this plan, you need to meet the deductible before the plan begins to pay (except for in-network preventive care, which is free). To help cover your costs, you have your tax-free HSA money, which includes contributions from MarketAxess in full in the beginning of each year. In 2024, you will receive:
- $650 for employee only enrollment
- $1,300 for enrollment of employee and other dependents
With this plan, you can see any provider, but you will pay less when you stay in network.
How the HDHP with HSA works
You pay the plan premiums from your paycheck to have coverage. When you receive in-network preventive care, you pay nothing — it’s covered in full! If you need non-preventive care, it works like this:
Use your HSA to save money and plan ahead!
Contributing to your HSA is a great way to budget for deductibles and other out-of-pocket expenses while also saving money — your HSA contributions are tax-free!*
Keep in mind:
- The HDHP costs less from your paycheck than the PPO Plan, so you may have extra money to put in your HSA.
- You can only spend HSA money already deposited into your account. MarketAxess deposits $650/$1,300 into your HSA at the beginning of the year. If you don’t have enough money in your HSA when you need it, you can pay another way and reimburse yourself later to take full advantage of your HSA’s tax savings.
- You will never forfeit any money left in your HSA — it rolls over each year. To save for your health care costs in retirement or prepare for future expenses, set aside a little extra each paycheck to grow your balance.
- You can change your HSA contribution amount throughout the year, if needed.
- You can use the funds in your HSA to pay for qualified medical expenses for your spouse or dependents, even if they are not covered by a MarketAxess medical plan.
*HSA contributions are not subject to federal income tax, but are currently subject to state income tax in CA and NJ. Consult with your tax advisor to understand the potential tax implications of enrolling in an HSA. Money in an HSA can be withdrawn tax-free as long as it is used to pay for qualified health-related expenses. If money is used for ineligible expenses, you will pay ordinary income tax on the amount withdrawn, plus a 20% penalty tax if you withdraw the money before age 65.
PPO Plan
The PPO Plan has lower out-of-pocket costs in exchange for the highest premiums of all the plans, making your spending more predictable. It charges a flat copay for most doctor’s office visits and prescriptions. For other health services, you’ll pay a percentage of the cost (coinsurance), with the plan paying the majority. You can choose to see any provider, but you’ll pay less by staying in network.
How the PPO Plan works
You pay the plan premiums from your paycheck to have coverage. When you receive in-network preventive care, you pay nothing — it’s covered in full! If you need non-preventive care, it works like this:
Save money with an FSA!
Take advantage of tax-free savings for health care payments with a Health Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA). However, plan your FSA contributions carefully: you can only carry over up to $610 of unused money in your FSA to the next year; you will forfeit any remaining amount above $610.
EPO Plan
The EPO Plan is similar to the PPO Plan, with its low out-of-pocket costs and predictable copays for doctor visits, urgent care, and prescriptions. It also has the same paycheck premiums as the HDHP. However, the EPO Plan provides coverage only when you receive care from providers within United Healthcare’s network.
How the EPO Plan works
You pay the plan premiums from your paycheck to have coverage. When you receive in-network preventive care, you pay nothing — it’s covered in full! If you need non-preventive care, it works like this:
Save money with an FSA!
Take advantage of tax-free savings for health care payments with a Health Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA). However, plan your FSA contributions carefully: you can only carry over up to $610 of unused money in your FSA to the next year; you will forfeit any remaining amount above $610.
Prescription Drugs
When you enroll in a MarketAxess medical plan, you automatically receive prescription drug benefits through OptumRx.
Drug tiers
The cost of your prescription drugs under each medical plan depends on the tier of the medication — Tier 1, Tier 2, or Tier 3. You can see how drugs are covered by looking at your plan’s Prescription Drug List (PDL), also called a formulary. This list indicates the overall value of each drug based on its effectiveness, safety, cost, and the availability of alternative medications to treat the same or similar medical condition(s).
Keep in mind that the PDL may change as a result of regular reviews and updates. To access the current PDL, log in to your United Healthcare account.
Pay less for your prescriptions
Ask your doctor about generic medications.
They’re commonly as effective as brand-name medications, but typically cost 80-85% less.
Use the mail order service.
Save time and money on long-term medications — such as a medication for high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or diabetes — with the convenient, cost-saving mail order service through OptumRx.
Go online to save time and money.
Log in to your myUHC account to find the best price for your medication. You can see a list of covered drugs, estimate your costs, compare pricing and options, find participating pharmacies to save money, and manage your medications.
Why use mail order?
- Free shipping on prescriptions.
- Reduced cost for a three-month supply.
- Convenient, automatic refills.
- No waiting in line at the pharmacy.

Find a Doctor
Using in-network providers saves you money. It also helps give you peace of mind that you’ll receive quality care, since providers are thoroughly vetted by UHC and must meet specific national standards.
Here’s how to find doctors in your medical plan network.
United Healthcare
Visit United Healthcare's website at myuhc.com. Then, you can:
Sign in to your account for personalized search results based on your plan
- Click Sign In.
- Select Find Care > Medical Directory > People, then select the type of care you’re looking for. For example, if you’re looking for a primary care doctor, select Primary Care > All Primary Care Physicians. Only doctors in your network are visible when you’re signed in.
- Continue following the prompts to enter your search criteria.
Or, search without signing in by clicking “Find a Provider”
- Follow the prompts to search either the Medical Directory or Behavioral Health Directory.
- When prompted to choose a type of plan, select “Employer and Individual Plans.”
- When asked for the plan name, choose “Choice” to search for EPO Plan providers, or “Choice Plus” to search for HDHP and PPO Plan providers.
- You can then enter your search criteria, including your location.
Don’t have a personal doctor? You should. Here’s why.
- Better health. Yearly health screenings can reduce your risk for many serious conditions. Preventive care is free, so there’s no excuse to skip it.
- Greater savings. Having a doctor you can call can help you avoid costly trips to the emergency room.
- Peace of mind. A personal doctor can get to know you and your health history, provide advice you can trust, and help coordinate your care.

Doctors can diagnose, treat, and prescribe medication for many common conditions when needed. The cost of a Virtual Visit varies by medical plan, and could range from $0 to $49 per visit, which is typically less than going to an urgent care center.
Types of Virtual Visits
- 24/7 virtual visits for same-day, urgent care visits for a wide variety of health issues
- Virtual primary care for regular health visits and checkups with a primary care doctor
- Virtual therapy for visits with a psychiatrist or therapist from the comfort of home
