MEDICAL BENEFITS Update Delete

Southern Adventist University has a fundamental interest in the health care and general welfare of its employees, which is partially given expression by following the North American Division’s Health Care Assistance Plan. The role of the Health Care Assistance Plan is to:

1. Promote efficiency in corporate operations as well as contribute to employee financial security by providing a program to maintain the health of employees and their eligible dependents.
2. Attract and retain employees.
3. Assist employees with expenses incurred from illness or injury, and require those employees to bear a part of such expenses by making a contribution to the healthcare plan.
4. Incorporate recognized cost-containment features and encourage cost-effective choices at all levels of health care decision-making.

A complete copy of the NAD Health Care Assistance Plan and the Blue Card PPO Program are available at the Risk Management website, adventistrisk.org. Recommendations for exceptions in the application of the plan, or for a change in the plan itself, should be made in writing to the vice president of Human Resources who will present it to the Human Resources Committee. Policy changes can only be made by the North American Division Health Care Assistance Plan Administrative Committee.
