SCARE members have access to additional insurance plans through Pacific Group Agencies / PGA at discounted group rates. These plans are optional and can help you add coverage beyond what is available through Sonoma County.

SCARE members and their families may choose from a variety of plans, including:
Preventive care, cleanings, major work
Eye exams, glasses, contacts
Access to legal advice and services
Identity theft monitoring and recovery
Coverage for veterinary care
Protection for trips and emergencies
Supplemental coverage for injuries
Discounts on exams and devices
Additional options may vary year to year
Availability and pricing may change. Always refer to the current PGA booklet for details.
