Follow these steps to schedule your appointment.
Below find more details about this year’s changes to employee benefits.
Prescription Coverage
Prescription coverage will transition from OptumRx to Aetna, effective Jan. 1, 2023. Employees will receive a new ID card in December. Prescription copays will remain the same, however, some medications may move tiers. If any of your medications are impacted by the change, Aetna will notify you directly.
Mental and Behavioral Health
Enhanced access to mental and behavioral health services will be provided through an Aetna pilot program. Employees will receive the contact information on their new ID card in December.
Voluntary Excess Life Insurance
Eligible employees may elect voluntary excess life insurance for up to three times their annual salary, to a maximum of $1 million, with no medical questionnaire. If an employee has been declined coverage in the past, this is an opportunity to elect coverage without being turned down because of a pre-existing medical condition. In addition, premiums are reduced for all employee-only voluntary excess life coverage, including existing policies.
One Medical
One Medical and UHealth have partnered to expand access to UHealth on-site clinics and UHealth Walgreens. In addition to existing access at UHealth, One Medical has offices nationwide and provides 24/7 access to virtual care, including preventive, mental health, testing, health screenings, and more. Employees who wish to use the expanded network will register directly with One Medical at no cost.
