University of Louisville Health Plan

The University of Louisville Health Plan (ULH) will keep your out-of-pocket medical expenses down when you use UofL providers. It provides you high coverage if you see certain ULH providers in the Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield (Anthem) network, and provides a lower level of coverage when you see other providers who are in the Anthem network. Out-of-network coverage is not provided except for emergency care.

This is only a summary. If you want more details about your coverage benefits, you can get the completed terms in the policy or plan document at Anthem BlueCross BlueShield, or view the Plan Summary and Summary of Benefits and Coverage.

The plan offers three tiers of coverage:

  • Tier 1 – UofL Health providers; lowest out of pocket costs
  • Tier 2 – Anthem in-network providers; higher out of pocket costs
  • Tier 3 – Out of network; coverage for emergency services only

Using UofL Providers:

  • Very low cost when you using UofL Health (ULH) providers who are considered “high performing” by Anthem
  • $0 deductible when using ULH providers
  • Lower payroll deductions than other plans offered
  • Inpatient stays, imaging and outpatient surgery will have copays instead of coinsurance, and patients will know amount of cost before receiving services A
  • ULH primary doctor and specialist visits are free for you — no copay
  • You will pay a copay for services like inpatient stays, imaging and outpatient surgery — since a copay is a fixed dollar amount, you will know your cost before receiving any service
