Watch your mailbox! Anyone enrolled in a 2021 University medical plan will receive a new medical ID card in January 2021.
You have three medical plan options, each of which is administered by UMR:
Health Savings Plan
Classic Plan
Premier Plan.
All three medical plans:
Offer a nationwide network of providers and facilities. The Health Savings Plan and Premier Plan offer coverage for out-of-network benefits.
Cover preventive care in-network at no cost to you. This includes well-baby visits; routine physical exams, immunizations, mammograms, colorectal cancer screenings, Pap smears, nutritional counseling; and certain preventive care drugs. Some preventive care is subject to yearly limitations.
Include prescription drug coverage through MedImpact, which has a nationwide network of pharmacies, including most national drug store chains and many independent pharmacies
Work with a Health Coach
Program coaches help you create health care goals and adhere to your diabetes and healthy heart treatment plan. If you are identified as high-risk, you may be invited to work with a health coach to bring these and other health conditions under control. You can also self-enroll by calling UMR Care Management at 866.575.2540.
Health plan with a Health Savings Account (HSA)—a tax-advantaged account with contributions made by The University and optional contributions made by you
Before you meet the annual deductible: You pay for all medical expenses (except preventive care), including prescription drugs, yourself or with money from your HSA
After you meet the annual deductible: You and The University share the cost of care
After you meet the medical annual out-of-pocket maximum: Plan pays 100% of all covered expenses for the rest of the Plan Year
You can see out-of-network providers but you will pay more for care

After you meet the annual deductible: You and The University share the cost of care through copays and coinsurance
After you meet the medical annual out-of-pocket maximum: Plan pays 100% of all covered expenses for the rest of the Plan Year

In-network deductibles and maximums do not count toward your out-of-network deductibles and maximums, and vice versa.
Benefit payments for covered services received out of network will be based on the Maximum Allowable Payment, as determined by UMR. Charges in excess of the Maximum Allowable Payment do not count toward meeting the annual deductible or meeting the limitation on your coinsurance maximum. Out-of-network providers may bill you for amounts in excess of the Maximum Allowable Payment.
