Health Plan Improvements

5. Preventive Care Benefits Expanded

Effective July 1, 2009, the preventive care benefits for employees will be expanded.

Current preventive care benefits include specific dollar limits based on age, and a limited list of covered preventive care procedures. 

Effective July 1, the University will utilize Anthem's standard preventive care coverage levels.  Anthems standard coverage levels are based on guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics, American Academy of Family Physicians, Advisory Committee on Immunization Practice, and American College of Gynecologists. 

Following Anthem's standards will provide more prompt attention to new vaccines and will provide benefits for previously excluded preventive care tests such as comprehensive metabolic panels, complete blood counts, urinalysis tests, and etc.
