MEDICAL BENEFITS
澳门二分彩 is proud to offer employees three medical plan options, which include prescription and vision coverage, to help you care for your and your family's medical needs.
Spending accounts are also available for each plan. Enrollment in our medical plans also allows you to access telemedicine through Independence Blue Cross's partnership with Teladoc. You can also choose to elect dental coverage and enhanced vision coverage.
The University pays a percentage of the premium cost for single coverage and employee/dependent coverages (current rate sheet); employee shares may be paid free of federal income tax. Employees can also save up to $225 by attending our annual on-campus biometric screening event or having your doctor complete the physician affidavit form. If you have coverage elsewhere, you may elect not to participate in the medical plan. Coverage for full time staff and faculty is effective immediately on the first day of the month following the first day of work, unless otherwise noted.
PLANS
KEYSTONE HEALTH PLAN EAST HEALTH MAINTANENCE ORGANIZATION (HMO)
An HMO is a managed care program that provides a wide range of healthcare services through an organized network of physicians and hospitals. You are required to select a primary care physician (PCP), from the Keystone network to guide your care. Referrals from the PCP are required for specialist visits.
Under the HMO plan, most services are paid at 100% with no deductibles or 100% after a small co-payment for physician visits. Referrals from the PCP are required for specialist visits. For more details, please review the Summary of Benefits Coverage for the HMO plan.

PREFERRED PROVIDER ORGANIZATION (PPO)
The PPO plan provides you in and out of network benefits and allows you to select your own doctors and hospitals. You do not need to select a Primary Care Physician and referrals are not required. By staying in the Blue Cross network you will maximize your benefits. However, if you choose to see an out-of-network provider, you will incur higher out-of pocket costs. Premium costs in the PPO plan will be higher than the HMO but network flexibility will be greater.
For more details, please review the Summary of Benefits Coverage for the PPO plan.
CONSUMER DRIVEN HEALTH PLAN (CDHP)
The CDHP plan is similar to the PPO plan in that it provides you in and out of network benefits and allows you to select your own doctors and hospitals. You do not need to select a Primary Care Physician and referrals are not required. By staying in the Blue Cross network you will maximize your benefits. However, if you choose to see an out-of-network provider, you will incur higher out-of pocket costs. The CDHP with Health Savings Account (HSA) is a different approach to how you pay for today鈥檚 health care and save for your future. It is a lower-premium, high-deductible health insurance plan, which means you pay less out of your paycheck for premiums and more out of pocket at the point of service鈥攂efore the plan pays for services that are not considered preventive. Villanova鈥檚 CDHP meets the minimum federal requirements that allow an enrollee to also qualify for a tax-advantaged HSA.
