Health benefits plans are more than just coverage — they’re a complete set of resources to help you stay healthy, informed and confident in your choices. Data shows just how meaningful that support is for today's workforce.

As employees and job seekers continue to prioritize their well-being, health benefits have become more important than ever. According to recent data, 88% of employers now rank health-related benefits as a top priority, and 63% of U.S. workers say health insurance is the benefit they value most. 1, 2

Together, these trends highlight why understanding your coverage matters — and how your Trustmark plan supports your overall well-being. With that in mind, Trustmark offers health plans designed to meet you where you are. 

Whether you are shopping for a new plan or already have a Trustmark HealthyEdgeSM PPO plan or a Trustmark Healthy ChoicesSM RBP plan, you’ll find quality care, virtual services and tools that make managing costs easier.

And when you need guidance, Trusted Member Care is here to help. They can answer questions, assist with provider searches, and give you clarity on your benefits — so you can make the most of what’s available to you.

Our Major Medical Plans

Trustmark HealthyEdgeSM PPO Plans
This PPO plan uses a network of contracted providers to help you save money. You’ll pay less when you choose in-network doctors and hospitals. You can go out-of-network, but it may cost more. If you currently have this plan, check your member portal or ID card to confirm your network and find providers.

Trustmark Healthy ChoicesSM Reference-Based Pricing (RBP) Plans
Our RBP plan is designed for cost transparency and provider flexibility. Instead of a traditional PPO network, this plan reimburses providers based on a benchmark, typically a percentage above Medicare rates. Key features include the freedom to see any willing provider. If a provider bills you extra (a “balance bill”), members have balance bill protection and support from Trusted Member Care.

If you currently have this plan, login and access the "FAQs" and “Trustmark Healthy Choices Health Plan Guide”, an essential year-round resource for provider tips, balance bill steps and quick links.
 
Additional Non-Major Medical Plans

  • Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRAs): If your employer offers an HRA, it can help offset eligible medical expenses — making your benefits even more affordable
  • Trustmark Preventive PlusSM Plans: Some employers include this option for preventive-only coverage. Check your member portal for details
