The University of South Alabama and ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ Healthcare Management, LLC, provide two comprehensive health and dental benefit options:
³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ Choice Health & Dental Plan: Benefits are received within a network of Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) providers or within the ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ Health network of hospitals, physicians, outpatient clinics and other providers affiliated with the University of South Alabama. By using ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ Health providers, the employee receives medical care at a lower cost to the plan and the employee.
³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ Select Health & Dental Plan: This plan is a narrow network design based on ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ Health providers and providers from the BCBS PPO network. To assist with primary care, Teladoc is included providing telephone and internet access to a physician for minor medical concerns, resulting in less cost for the employee, time saved and convenience. The ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ Select benefit design has low-cost deductibles or co-pays when using a ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ Health network provider. Other BCBS PPO providers are covered at 70%. By using a ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ Health provider, this will ensure that employees are receiving the very best benefit possible.
³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ Consumer Health & Dental Plan:  This plan, administered by BCBS AL, is a high deductible health plan which offers flexibility and control over healthcare spending. This plan has lower premiums but also has a high deductible and out-of-pocket cost sharing. Once the deductible has been met, ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ Health providers are covered at 80% and BCBS PPO providers are covered at 75%.
