Health Insurance Coverage
|
| Who is eligible for enrollment in the health care program? Full time classified staff and faculty. |
| What health plans are available to me? Employees who live or work in this state may choose from, a Preferred Provider Organization, and two Health Maintenance Organizations. A no-premium plan is also available. |
| What is the difference between a Health Maintenance
Organization and a Preferred Provider Organization?
A HMO requires the use of a primary care physician (PCP) for payment of any medical services. Referrals must be obtained from the PCP, and treatments are monitored by the plan. A PPO pays higher benefits when a PCP is selected and used; but will provide benefits for out-of-network services. |
| When may I select or change my health benefits plan or
membership level? You may select your health plan within 31 days of initial hire. Participants in the premium conversion may make changes within 31 days of a family status change. Employees who do not participate in premium conversion may reduce membership at any time, and may increase membership within 31 days of an eligibility status change. Employees may also make changes during the Open Enrollment period. |
