Human Resources — University Benefits

You may continue coverage for up to 12 months.  You may seek care from any provider you choose.  However, if you use an Iowa “Alliance Select Provider” or Delta Dental provider, your costs will generally be much lower.  The University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics (UIHC), Mercy Hospital, and Family Practice Clinics are Alliance Select Providers in Iowa City.  The College of Dentistry is a Delta Dental provider in Iowa City.

The health policy provides a lifetime maximum benefit of $250,000 for hospitalization, surgery, maternity, emergency illness or injury, and well-baby/well-child care.  Additional benefits for non-emergency care include up to $1,500 per person for outpatient medical care for outpatient diagnostic x-ray and laboratory services.
