Medical Coverage
McClatchy's health care plans are designed to provide our benefit-eligible employees with comprehensive and affordable care. Additional information on medical coverage is listed below.
McClatchy's medical plans, administered by Aetna, help make it easy for you to get the care you need.
Care Overview
Both plans cover the same types of procedures and services and you’ll have access to the same large network of doctors and facilities throughout the country; however, they differ in the way the cost of care is structured and in the strategies you can use to control your expenses.
By enrolling in one of McClatchy's health plans you have access to all of the plans and programs mentioned below. You may never need every feature. But if you do, they’re there for you.
Aetna's health plan covers certain preventive services — like shots and screening tests — at no cost to you.
- Preventive Care Screenings
Get checkups, screenings, vaccines, parental care contraceptives and more with no out-of-pocket costs. - 2019 Preventive Medications List
Preventive medications that will not apply to an Aetna member's deductible, but are subject to co-pays and co-insurance. - Women's Preventive Services
- ACA Preventive Services
- Preventative Care FAQ
McClatchy also offers free health screenings once a year to all benefit-eligible employees. If you and your spouse/domestic partner are enrolled, then you will receive a $50 rebate each for completing the screening! This is a great, quick way to know your numbers and ensure you're staying healthy!

Savings Advantage with HSA Plan
This is a traditional PPO plan with a high deductible and a Health Savings Account (HSA) that you can use to save and pay for qualified health care expenses now or in the future. With the Savings Advantage plan, you’ll pay a lower monthly premium contribution and McClatchy contributes to your HSA to jumpstart your savings. You pay the full cost of care until you reach your deductible, then the plan will pay coinsurance until you reach your out-of-pocket maximum. In-network preventive care is covered 100%.
