Provider Network Options
The provider network is physicians and facilities that your plan has negotiated with
to accept a reduced payment amount for eligible medical services. The services
covered under each plan design option are the same, regardless of the provider
network you select. If you visit physicians and facilities that are in your network,
you will only be required to pay your copay or coinsurance amount on the lower
negotiated network cost of the service (after any deductible, if applicable).
You are still able to visit physicians and facilities that are not in your network;
however, you will pay a higher coinsurance amount (in Advantage and
Comprehensive). In all plan design options, the plan will pay what it would pay a
network provider and you may be billed by the out-of-network provider for costs in
excess of the amount a network provider would accept. Additionally, the Advantage
option has a deductible for out-of-network providers that must be met before
benefits are payable by the health plan.
The University has three provider networks from which to choose: University Health
Care Plus (administered by University of Utah Health Plans), Preferred ValueCare
and Participating (PAR) (both administered by Regence BlueCross BlueShield). The
University encourages employees to utilize the outstanding University of Utah Health
Care medical staff who are an important part of each of the provider networks.
The University is pleased to announce that later this year we will be adding health coverage for
Autism Spectrum Disorder. We believe Autism Spectrum Disorder affects approximately 2%
of children in our country. To assist us in developing this program, we encourage employees
whose children could take advantage of covered health plan services to complete a short,
anonymous survey. The survey will help us understand treatment needs, accessibility of
certified providers, affordability of services, and any treatment in process. Please visit
www.hr.utah.edu/benefits/autism anytime during May 2014 to complete the survey.
