Changes for 2008

NEW CIGNA Choice Fund - HRA/PPO Medical Plan

UC will provide a new medical plan that combines a Health Reimbursement Account with a Preferred Provider Organization (HRA/PPO) plan. The CIGNA Choice Fund plan corresponds to the plan currently offered by Definity Health. It will be available to UC employees in the U.S., except Hawaii.

In the CIGNA Choice Fund, the employee has a UC-funded health reimbursement account that pays first to help meet the member's annual deductible. All in-network preventive care is covered at 100 percent.

In-network behavioral health benefits will be provided by United Behavioral Health (UBH).
