E N D
2019 Health Plan • ASU is a self-insured health plan. Employees and ASU pay premiums into the plan, and those premiums are used to pay claims, administrative fees, and excess loss insurance for our very large claims. • Each year we analyze the costs to the health plan and adjust premiums or cost sharing to ensure we have enough funding in our plan to pay projected claims. >
Keeping Health Care Affordable • You can help keep our health plan affordable by: • Selecting a primary care physician. He or she will: • Provide preventive care and teach healthy lifestyle choices; • Identify and treat common medical conditions; • Assess the urgency of your medical problems and direct you to the best place for that care; and • Make referrals to medical specialists when necessary. >
Keeping Health Care Affordable • You can also help keep our health plan affordable by: • Visit www.blueadvantage.com to help manage your health care. You can: • Find doctors and compare costs and quality rates; • Track your claims, account balances, and deductibles; • Print a temporary ID card. • Seeking appropriate non-emergency care after-hours. You can: • Seek care at an urgent care center; • Call your physician’s office – they may have a nurse available by phone on nights and weekends; or • Call the toll-free number on the back of your card to speak to a nurse who can help you decide where and when you should get treatment. >
Health Plan Options • ASU offers 2 different health plan options. • The Classic Plan utilizes the Arkansas True-Blue PPO Network and is a good choice for employees who primarily use Arkansas providers or providers in Memphis who are part of the Baptist network. • The Premier Plan utilizes the National Blue Card Network and is generally the best choice for employees who utilize providers outside the state of Arkansas including Methodist in Memphis. >
