Health Insurance - About the Graduate Student and Postdoctoral Employee PPO
The Graduate Student and Postdoctoral Employee PPO Plan provide benefits for you and your covered dependents through Anthem Blue Cross, Inc. In a PPO plan, hospitals, physicians, and other health care providers agree to join the plan's provider network. These in-network providers agree to charge reduced fees to plan participants, and the plan pays a higher percentage of the cost of care received from these providers. The plan gives you the flexibility to visit any providers you choose, but visiting in-network providers can save you money and the time associated with filing claims for reimbursement. For the Anthem Blue Cross PPO, with most types of care received in-network, you pay only a copayment at the time you receive services (within plan limits).
Prescription drug benefits for the Anthem Blue Cross PPO plan is administered by Express Scripts through Anthem Blue Cross.
