Exclusive Care is a Health Plan specifically designed by the County of Riverside for County employees, retirees, their families, and other qualified Contracted Employer Groups.

Exclusive Care also offers various Retiree Plans and Out-of-Area Dependent plans.

Employees and eligible dependents of the County of Riverside as well as Contracted Employer Groups can enroll with Exclusive Care once they have met their employer’s eligibility criteria. All eligibility is reported by the employer.  

Exclusive Care provides comprehensive health care services through a network of participating hospitals, medical groups, and physicians throughout the County of Riverside. This network is called an Exclusive Provider Organization (EPO). The plan benefits include extensive coverage to meet your health care needs such as preventative care, specialty services, hospitalizations, and prescription drugs.

Exclusive Care provides most services for very little co-payment for its members.

Members of Exclusive Care receive an Identification Card that must be presented each time a member receives services.

The County of Riverside is pleased to provide the Exclusive Care Health Plan for you and your eligible dependents. If you have any questions about your benefits under this plan that can’t be answered in our Frequently Asked Questions, please contact Member Services. 

This health plan believes this plan is a ‘‘grandfathered health plan’’ under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the Affordable Care Act).  As permitted by the Affordable Care Act, a grandfathered health plan can preserve certain basic health coverage that was already in effect when that law was enacted.  Being a grandfathered health plan means that your plan may not include certain consumer protections of the Affordable Care Act that apply to other plans, for example, the requirement for the provision of preventive health services without any cost sharing.  However, grandfathered health plans must comply with certain other consumer protections in the Affordable Care Act, for example, the elimination of lifetime limits on benefits.  Questions regarding which protections apply and which protections do not apply to a grandfathered health plan and what might cause a plan to change from grandfathered health plan status can be directed to the plan administrator:  Assistant CEO, Director of Human Resources, County of Riverside, Human Resources, 4080 Lemon Street, 7th Floor, Riverside, CA 92502, (951) 955-3510.  You may also contact the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services at www.healthreform.gov.
