Three medical plans to choose from starting Jan. 1, 2018.

Starting January 1, 2018, you will have three medical plan options:

  • Classic Plan
  • Health Savings Plan
  • Premier

The two new plans, the Health Savings Plan and the Premier Plan, cover the same medical services and facilities as the Classic Plan.

All three medical plans:

  • Offer a nationwide network of providers and facilities. To find an in-network provider visit UMR and select “Search for a provider” or call UMR at 888.438.6105. Note that 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, immunizations, mammograms, colorectal cancer screenings, nutritional counseling, physical exams and certain preventive drugs. Some preventive care is subject to yearly limitations. See your Summary Plan Description for details.
  • Include prescription drug coverage from MedImpact, which has a nationwide network of pharmacies including most chains. Coverage details are included in the Medical Plan Comparison Chart.
