Augusta University currently offers 3 health care plans:
Comprehensive Care Plan
The Comprehensive Care Plan is a comprehensive program which provides medical care/service
coverage levels based on In-Network and Out-Of-Network services. Enrolled employees/retirees
and covered family members have the option of seeing whatever provider they like,
however electing to see providers who are in the Blue Open Access POS will result
in a higher level of benefit coverage and lower out-of-pocket expenses.

Consumer Choice HSA Plan

Choice HSA plan is designed specifically to be a federally qualified HDHP plan, compatible
with Health Savings Accounts (HSA). As with other Preferred Provider Option (PPO)
plans, medical care/service coverage levels are based on in-network and out-of-network
services with in-network services providing lower out-of-pocket expenses. However,
the annual deductible must be met before the plan benefits are paid.
