No matter where you are in life, medical coverage is a valuable tool for your health and financial wellness. JCPenney offers four different medical plans to fit all sizes, but picking the plan that is the right fit for you and your family can be confusing. Answer a few questions to help narrow your choices.

What is most important when you consider health benefits?
I need them just in case of a major accident or illness so that I won’t go broke paying medical bills.
Give me good coverage at a good price and a way to save for future medical costs.
