Health

Placer County provides group health insurance through Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) and Preferred Provider Organizations (PPOs). If health insurance is not needed, you may select In Lieu of Health (ILH). HMOs generally pay 100% of the cost of care, after a co-payment. You are required to use in-network providers. Your care is coordinated through a designated Primary Care Physician.
