Medical Plans

The University offers three medical plan options: Aetna Select 1, Aetna Select 2, and the HRA. Your premiums, deductibles, copays and other costs vary depending on the plan you select.

Medical Plan Options

AETNA SELECT 1
The Aetna Select 1 plan offers access to a national network of providers and facilities. There are no out-of-network benefits. The Aetna Select 1 plan has a $200 deductible per person, up to $600 maximum.  Once the deductible is met, participants pay copays for services. Preventive care is free and bypasses the deductible. Prescription drugs also bypass the deductible, but require copays.

AETNA SELECT 2

There are no out-of-network benefits.The Aetna Select 2 plan has a $300 deductible per person, up to $900 maximum. Once the deductible is met, participants pay copays for services.
