How to choose UC Davis Health for you and your family

The health expertise of a world-class university – still among your lowest-priced options.

Employee Donnell Gray

UC Davis Health is one of your lowest-cost options

Please note: health insurance rates on UC-wide mailings and websites may not reflect special prices for UC Davis employees. More details below.

SEE YOUR SPECIAL UC DAVIS RATES:

To see your health plan rates as a UC Davis employee, be sure to visit the UC Davis Human Resources open enrollment website and its rates information page.

UC Davis is part of a special pilot program, so UC Davis rates are different than UC-wide rates. 

As a new UC Davis employee enrolling in UC benefits, we hope you’ll consider staying in the UC family – and select a health plan that includes UC Davis Health.

Choosing a UC Davis Health primary care provider for your everyday care gives you a personal connection to the health expertise, discoveries and resources of:

  • the world’s leading public research university system
  • one of the nation’s top 10 public universities, and
  • Sacramento’s No. 1-ranked hospital

Convenient locations and urgent care options

We proudly offer patient-centered care at clinic locations close to home and work – including two clinics in Davis, one in Midtown Sacramento, and several on our Sacramento campus.

We also offer employees a wide variety of options for urgent care and after-hours care.

How to choose UC Davis Health

Please note: Information is current as of Aug. 5, 2025.

To choose us for your family’s everyday care, first select a health plan that includes UC Davis Health (we may also be listed as UC Davis Medical Group). 

Note: The UC Blue & Gold HMO remains among the lowest-cost premium options for you. UC Blue & Gold remains one of the lowest-priced monthly costs available, with rates equal to Kaiser rates for 2025. And it’s easy to switch from Kaiser. 

IMPORTANT NOTES!
