Voluntary Benefit Plans Available Nov. 4-25

UC will continue to offer two voluntary benefit plans – Unum’s critical illness and accident insurances. These options are only available for enrollment during

Annual Enrollment

. You can also purchase coverage for your eligible dependents. 

Enrollment Information

You cannot enroll for the voluntary benefit plans through the

UC Flex Employee Self Service

.  Instead, you enroll plan by calling Unum’s Customer Care Center at 866-834-7821 between Nov.4-25.   Enrollment is only available during these dates.

Critical Illness

Critical Illness Insurance can help fill a financial gap if you or a covered family member experiences a severe, life-threatening illness. This benefit goes above and beyond the coverage provided under UC's medical plans by supplementing your finances while you or a loved one deals with and recovers from a serious illness. In short, your medical insurance takes care of your health while Critical Illness coverage takes care of your finances.

Upon diagnosis with a covered critical illness, you can receive an immediate lump-sum benefit. You can use those funds any way you choose. Coverage is guaranteed and you can only elect this benefit during the dates indicated below.

Accident Insurance

Accident Insurance is designed to protect your finances by helping you pay for the unexpected costs associated with an accidental injury. Accident insurance includes benefits for a wide range of common injuries and covered accidents. If you become injured, Accident insurance will pay you a direct cash benefit. The amount of money you receive depends on the type and severity of your injury and can be used any way you choose. Coverage is guaranteed and you can only elect this benefit during the dates indicated below.

$50 Wellness Benefit

Both the

Critical Illness Plan and the Accident Insurance Plans

include a $50 Wellness benefit.  If you or your covered spouse/domestic partner undergoes any one of 26 wellness exams, the plans’ Wellness benefit pays $50.  All you need to do is contact Unum.  If you receive more than one wellness screening test and you are covered under both plans, the wellness benefit is available under both plans.

2016 Benefits Fair and Flu Shots

The 2016 Benefits Fair will be held from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Nov. 6 at the Kingsgate Marriott Conference Center.  This year’s fair will feature a health fair in conjunction with UC Health.   Help us help others by bringing a non-perishable item to the Benefits Fair.  All items will be donated to the FreeStore FoodBank.
